American royalty is often raised to the status of gods. I wonder if every society is prone to this, or if it is found only in Western societies. No wait, the Japanese elevated their Emporer to divine status. Hmmmmm.

Martha has a huge presence still, although she is not in front of the camera so much. I love her Everyday Food show. I also spend a lot of time on her websites.

I haven’t seen Martha on television this season. You’re right, she was very powerful for a time, up until she was convicted. After that, it seems her influence diminished.

It’s interesting that two equally powerful and controversial women should be in America at the same time, both commandeering television airtime and promoting their vision of what should be important to those watching, and both universally known by their first names. They come with so much baggage even as they promise to simplify and beautify your life… Has Martha put out a biography yet?
