Tomorrow morning, as Martha Stewart gets sentenced, her staff will be there in spirit — in specially organized "gathering" areas at Martha Stewart Omnimedia offices. We actually feel bad posting this memo, but we just don't know how to leave a tender moment alone. Hey, they're serving breakfast! We'll stop by, okay?

Martha's broker, Peter Bacanovic, is getting sentenced tomorrow too — where's his memo of support? Where are the masses weeping and watching TV together? Hello? Yeah, we didn't think so.
