I'm so stinkin' mad. Martha Stewart held a contest amongst her Omnimedia employees. She decided there were 7 great ideas so she put it up for vote by her viewers. On her show today, which was to announce the winner, she said there were over 650,000 votes. Lo and behold, there was a tie!!! REALLY??!!??!! Come on, Martha. A tie with over 650K voters? OH wait, then she clarified. The allergy magazine got "the popular vote" with 57% of the viewer vote. Seriously, explain that to me. So what tied with that was a pet magazine. Because we are all fond of our beloved pets. Give me a break. At last check, that had 26% of the popular vote. I just have one thing to say. Martha, if you wanted to pick something on your own, you should have just picked it ON YOUR OWN! Why the tease? Oh sure, great, "include" it with your other magazines. I'll be sure to NOT run right out and buy them.
On another note, sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I've been busy at work and at play. I voted. Ethan learned how to clap and say "bye-bye". Gary leaves for Chicago for a couple of days tomorrow morning. You're all caught up!
Here's a cute video of Ethan clapping!

Don't you love the way people use statistics to say whatever THEY want? It never ceases to amaze me!
I do think it's funny she called it the 'popular vote winner' when the idea was that the popular vote winner WOULD BE the winner.
