According to the AP, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, the vast and terrifying Stewart empire, made $2.95 million dollars in its fourth quarter. Most of the revenue was driven by increased advertising in the magazine, and I’m sure some of it was royalties from her soon-to-be-cancelled but nontheless profitable TV Show, Martha Stewart Apprentice. (Yesterday I heard someone complaining to a talk radio show that her show is more “fake” than Trump’s. Has she SEEN Trump’s? Isn’t it like saying that this glacier isn’t as cold as the others?)

You can compare this figure to last year’s 4th quarter when the company lost 7.33 million. Of course, Martha was serving a 5-month prison sentence for stock fraud, and that kind of thing can hit the bottom line. Now that’s a thing of the past. Price of shares is up.

Give that woman some powdered sugar, a trowel, and a basket of verbena and she can fix anything.
