On a smarter planet, Augusta membership wouldn’t be an issue
For a decade now, IBM has been one of three main sponsors for broadcasts of the Masters golf tournament, which begins a week from today. IBM technology helps to run the tournament; IBM hosts a hospitality cabin near the 10th hole for its clients and guests.
Reflecting that long and close relationship, the last four IBM CEOs have been invited to become members of Augusta National, a highly sought honor. (The Washington Post puts the number at the last eight.)
Last October, however, IBM CEO Sam Palmisano announced he was stepping down and named as his replacement a 53-year-old by the name of Ginni Rometty to replace him.
That would be Ginni, as in Virginia. And as we all know, Augusta National has yet to welcome a woman to don its exalted green jacket (it welcomed its first black member in 1990).
Ten years ago, when Martha Burk tried to strong-arm the club into inviting a woman to join its exclusive membership, club leaders resisted, insisting that any changes in its membership policy would be made in its own time, without outside pressure. Rometti’s ascension to the head of IBM offers Augusta National a natural, organic opportunity to take that step, a step that it should have taken sometime in the previous century.
Conversely, refusing to take that natural step with a corporate ally as prominent as IBM, with a candidate such as Rometti who has earned the perks that traditionally come with her job, would make the absence of women all the more glaring.

I have no doubt the members, all male, and majority WASP would be fine with not allowing Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, or anyone different from them. This club, and others like them have no place in American society
There was a golf magazine article a few years back about the arcane membership practices of Augusta National. It seems that the chairman has just about the sole authority to extend membership invitations. And membership isn’t necessarily permanent. For example, a member who dropped a bottle of after-shave lotion in the locker room never received a renewal billing, nor did the member who abused his privilege of inviting guests to play the course. You can be out of the club as quickly as you came in.
I know I’d never be comfortable within that circle, nor would I want to be a member of a golf club that closes down two weeks after the Masters and doesn’t re-open until fall. Membership invitations receive a lot of publicity when they’re extended, but I’m far from certain that they’re worth much except to those who value prestige and exclusivity.

I am sure that you will not get a call soon from anyone at Augusta. They can close down anytime they want to. You might not be “comfortable in that kind of organization” but the world does not revolve on what you think is appropriate. It is private…… got that? Private. How many times do liberals have to read that to get the message. Hell, I am not even a golfer….. don’t follow the game, could care less.

Well, in the face of all the hoopla, let’s hope Ms. Rometty and IBM follow the Golden Rule.
The woman with the gold makes the rules.
They’ll decide if it’s worth it to them to spend the $$ to impress their corporate clients.
They’ll also decide if it’s worth ticking off some clients who were looking for an invite.
Or they’ll decide if that’s how they want to be treated by some group they’re writing a huge check to.
And Augusta National has to decide pretty much the same thing.

Jay, The members tend to be successful people who make more than 250K per year. You know, the evil millionairs and billionairs you and your minions have such hatred for. I’m sure there are a few libs there too, but I doubt any of them are forking over any more of their tax dollars in excess of what is required of them than you are. Not even that “few thousand” BS you floated a while back.
Don’t feel bad about hating them for being successful though, Jay, I doubt they care much for you either.

“Let’s see, if we subsidize oil companies with our tax dollars, ”
Hey Tax, please list those “subsidies.” You mean like tax deductions that every other business in this country takes advantage of?
Please compare and contrast those to loan guarantees, like Solyndra.
Thanks.

“Towncrier, you’re right and I think the SCOTUS will vote 5 to 4 dumping the mandate and sending it back to congress for rework.”
Which, in the long run, I think will be productive. This bill was passed by a very partisan way and and by the skin of its teeth. It doesn’t really pass muster. Sometimes, though, masterpieces emerge from revisions. So let’s see what happens.

Paul Ryan’s budget will get full review and debate in Congress. Too bad ObamaCare didn’t get the same it would have saved taxpayers considerable dollars and our employment numbers would be much better.

but It’s not over until the fat lady (no offense) sings in June.
Well, if you’re waiting for the missus to sing you’ll be waiting alot longer than June. She’s tone-deaf and she can’t read neither.
