A national survey that will be released tomorrow reveals that over 70% of Americans -- men and women -- support the club's right to make its own membership decisions. That is what we intend to do.

Good, I hope they stick to their guns. It's a private club and they can dang well do as they want with their membership.

Hootie Bump!

[mommybain]

Why would anyone want to belong to a club that doesn't want him/her?? </rhetoric>

Zing. Hey, Martha, "Want some ice for that?"

As one who has had the honor of visiting Augusta during The Masters, all I can say is... Way to go, Hootie. Augusta National is a class act. Too bad others don't stand up more often to the liberal thugs of our society.

I have attended six different Practice Rounds, including three Wednesday Rounds. Augusta National now uses a lottery system for Practice Round tickets. I hit in 1997 (Tiger's first) for 12 tickets -- 4 each day. (You wouldn't believe how many friends I suddenly had. Hehehe!)

No matter what each year, I plant myself in front of the TV here up North and watch The Masters from start to finish.

If I never get to go back, that's OK. I've been there.

Right on, Hootie!

Dem broads is everywhere! No place left to hide! Gotta get out, get out, GET OUT!

[Doctor Freeze]

Go Hootie Go!!

I think Martha Burk needs to go find a hobby (or a better cause). There are hills to die on... this is not one of them Martha.

[The Other Harry]

If only Trent Lott has these sort of cajones.

Now all we have to do is hope that Burk finally shuts her cakehole on the subject.

Interesting that the head of the Council of WOMEN'S Organizations is complaining about the all-male membership of a golf club. I assume Madame Burk will be changing the name of her organization to the Council of People's Organizations (of course, then the animals and plants have something to howl about their exclusion).

"Give 'm hell, Hootie", and to those sorry-assed losers (some members and players - 'Tigger' for one) who have publicly suggested caving-in to the Fems - 'eat my shorts'!

ESPN's Sportscenter last night covered this again for the 980th time it seemed. They interviewed a golf reporter from the LA Times and then they interviewed this woman. Talk about softball questions. She kept calling Hootie a bigot. I don't think the sportscaster was trying to lay up for her, I just don't think he knew the questions to ask because it didn't relate to an actual sports event. I just wish someone, somewhere would ask Martha Burk why there can be colleges and societies that are strictly for women.

[RooRoobird14]

Go Hootie!!!!

Women's colleges like Smith and Wellesley, historically black colleges like Spelman, the Girl Scouts of America, the Junior League, fraternities and sororities would all have to be dissolved or radically changed from the single-sex profile that has become an essential part of their character and, indeed, the reason they are sought after. Do they, too, "discriminate"?

In a word? No. Not according to them, anyway.

Everyone remembers how Shannon Faulkner forced herself into an all-male military school (only to drop out shortly thereafter, citing, "I don't want to kill myself to make a political point."), but how many people recall when Mills College made the decision to go co-ed? The throng of girls instantly turning into bawling messes, as if they had all received word their mother had just died. (The college changed their minds after about a week due to protests and more of the aforementioned action.)

If anything, this shows hypocrisy on the part of these girls, but it also brings to the surface the anti-male attitude Christina Hoff-Summers has spoken so eloquently about.

[upchuck]

Bully for you, Hootie. Hang tuff!!! BUMP!!

[going hot]

So, the NOW organization is complaining about an exclusive club for men only.

What does the letters NOW stand for anyway? National organization of wo...wo...wo..wo..er.. people?
