Sorry I got carried away with the keywords, but this must have been a BIG story at the Journal-Constitution with all those writers.

Don't know if you heard the latest news, but CBS told the women that it was going to go ahead and broadcast the Masters. That's the right thing.

A woman,

Here is an idea: Extend an invitation to Ann Coulter and let her announce she joins Augusta National, but shall never attend (except perhaps as a guest) out of respect for the men only tradition of the club.

Martha Burk, head of the National Council of Women's Organizations, is pressuring Augusta National chairman Hootie Johnson to admit a woman member and is sending letters questioning club policy to the membership.

Fortunately, Burk is doing more harm than good for the NCWO as this latest ploy of hers is backfiring. Soon she may get a productive job that she can be proud of instead of being a PC leach.

Maybe Hootie should tell Martha Burk to allow men on this course first:

No Man's Land

Augusta National is a PRIVATE CLUB. If you go here:

Members are members in their names only, not their companies, places of work or corporations. Men and their families; women and their families, grandparents and their grandchildren are welcome at most clubs as guests if they are not members. Martha Burk is just one more feminist spoiler looking into hallowed ground for political reasons and for what? Does she play golf, has she ever asked to become a member of these clubs, which clubs does she belong to if any and what are those by-laws?

Women are not excluded from these clubs and if they were, why go where you aren’t wanted! Most women cannot afford the membership...is that her beef or is she just as stupid as all the women’s organizations apparently are. I fail to see why any self-respecting female would be a party to NOW or the NCWO.

Right On CBS, you're doing the right thing.

This follows an Editorial by Cynthia Tucker a few days ago stating that Augusta National was fighting a battle they couldn't win.

Hang tough Hootie!

Augusta National is a private organization. Their freedom of association is protected under the Constitution.

The homosexuals learned that the hard way when they tried to stick pedophiles in tents with young boys. Augusta National does not owe that bunch of feminazis anything!
