Writer Jeff Johnson, armed only with Lexis-Nexis and a hatred of lazy headline writers, has assembled a Hall of Shame for those who've used "It's a good thing" in their recent Martha Stewart coverage.

Over the past month, "Martha Stewart" and "good thing" returned 311 results on Lexis-Nexis. Admittedly, some of these were duplicates, or syndicated articles appearing in different papers, and some were merely goofy letters to the editor. A search of the last 90 days balloons the results up to the 600s. I couldn't deliver them all to you, because at 4 a.m., my wife was starting to think that me, sitting in front of a computer, working on an unpaid piece for my blog was totally fucking retarded. I couldn't argue.
