Once again, a master of contradictions – USATODAY.com - Mike Lopresti - At its core, Augusta National is not one world, but two. Not just today, but yesterday. It is a place of relentless consistency, and also raging contradiction. Therein lies the great strength of the Masters, and also sometimes its weakness.
Payne declines to discuss female membership at Augusta National | All Things Masters - AJC - Doug Roberson - The club has never had a female member. The topic is in the news because of the appointment of Virginia Rometty as CEO of IBM. Augusta National has traditionally invited the CEO of IBM, one of the sponsors of the Masters, to be a member. Here is a copy of the exchanges during Payne’s state of the Masters speech. At one point, following the questions about growing the game, Payne stared down the questioner after he kept asking:
With Huckabee Show, a Talk Radio Face-Off - NYTimes.com - Brian Stelter - Mr. John Hogan (Clear Channel) said he welcomed Mr. Huckabee “because we think competition makes people better.” - Mr. Hogan said the recent moves by Cumulus were a reflection of “what we’ve thought for a long time, which is that radio is a great business.” Audio will be just one type of content for these businesses; Web and video will be others, and live events still another.
Dog eats owner's Masters tickets - Yardbarker -So he did what any golf fan would do: He poured Hydrogen peroxide -- it's safe for animals to ingest -- into his dog's mouth and waited for the remains of the tickets to come back up. They did. Along with a bunch of other things. But wait, there's more! Berkman not only went through the puke to find the pieces of the tickets, he also took the time to piece the tickets (or what was left of them) together, in one final attempt to keep the trip alive.
Men in Black - NYTimes.com - Maureen Dowd - This court, cosseted behind white marble pillars, out of reach of TV, accountable to no one once they give the last word, is well on its way to becoming one of the most divisive in modern American history. It has squandered even the semi-illusion that it is the unbiased, honest guardian of the Constitution. It is run by hacks dressed up in black robes.
