I'm coming to save you, Martha!

Ms N and Alaska Jen were recently discussing Martha Stewart's new Apprentice show - mainly how much it sucked. Specifically disappointing was the big moment of rejection. Donald Trump has his down. He brings the sheep into the slaughterhouse - er, board room - and berates them for several minutes. Then, depending on his mood, he picks either the poutiest or the most belligerent, then looks them straight on, and says in a clear, solid voice those famous words: "You're Fired." He even does that hand movement - firm, solid, manly-but-swashbuckling. There is no question that he is The Man and he is in charge.

Martha writes a rejection letter. That must be how they take people down in the Big House.

What Martha needs is a good catch-phrase. Something clear, concise, easily repeatable - something that gets the point across that she is The Man.

Well, Martha, I am here to bail you out because that is what I do best - unless it requires posting cash bail ... screw that!

Next time you write your letter - when you key in the words with command strokes and do the firm hand movement putting the letter in the mailbox - close out with your own catch-phrase.

"You are not a Good Thing."

Swashbuckling with a bad comb-over?
