            If you are that type of person that hides in caves, doesn’t talk to others, or basically anything else to stay sheltered from current events, then you are really missing out.  For those specially secluded people, I am going to take it upon myself to help fill you in on what’s been happening in the world (but not without a few added comments).
           
 Well, it finally happened.  On March 5, Martha Stuart was convicted of obstructing justice and, my personal favorite, lying to the government about a suspicious stock sale.  Yes, that’s right.  She may actually have to serve a prison sentence of up to twenty years (although, in reality, she may only serve two or three months).  Do not fear, bad comedians and political cartoonists have not ignored the obvious joke which is “Martha in jail”.  Oh my, what can we say about Martha in this most unlikely of places?  Um, how about we make fun of her attempt at redecoration?  Perhaps we can talk about what food dishes she will prepare while in jail.   Give me a break.  Those jokes are so easy!  Why don’t you guys try and come up with something that hasn’t taken up half an hour of Saturday Night Live or ALL of the political cartoons in EVERY newspaper?  My suggestion: try and make fun of the lack of leadership her company will face.  Maybe poke fun at the freedom her personal assistants will finally get to enjoy.  Come on, in the words of that cell phone commercial, “Think outside the box.”
            Next, which I would consider equally important, is the recent troubles the Disney Corporation has faced.  Allow me to explain this very childish situation.  You see, Pixar, in search of a new distributor, has just left Disney.  Whoops!  The most popular thing to happen to Disney since Aladdin toys at McDonald’s has just walked away, leaving them to hold their own weight with the recent less-than-blockbusters, The Little Mermaid 2 and Return to Neverland.  I wouldn’t be surprised if their next project was The Lion King 4 ¾: Simba’s Second Mortgage.  Roy Disney (Walt Disney’s nephew) resigned hoping that CEO Michael Eisner would follow, allowing Roy to come back and then have control over the business end.  Nice try, Roy.  Michael stayed and in an exercise of his power, closed the animation studio; making Home on the Range the last Disney animated film.  In case you aren’t familiar, Range is basically Fievel Goes West meets Rock-a-doodle-do with some carefully timed egg-laying.  Well, in the latest development, pension funds are expressing their concern about their investments, which they claim are in jeopardy.  No, I wouldn’t say that…well, I suppose when their investments are dependant on the success of Disneyworld’s newest ride, Home on the Range’s Chicken-Squeezing, Cow-Running, Water-Rushing, Evil-Evading, Range-Saving, 3-D Barnyard Adventure, yeah, I think I would accept my losses.  If they really wanted to waste their money on a hopeless creative investment, they could send it to me.
            I hope those have given you enough reason to stay in your cave a bit longer, and with Michael Jackson’s trial coming up, I may end up joining you.  I hope you don’t mind Neil Diamond music or Cameron Diaz posters.
