Random Memorial for Monday 8/20/12

Gone and hopefully soon forgotten:  not allowing women to be members of Augusta.

Welcome Condie Rice (and that other lady whom I don't know -- sorry?) to Augusta!

Welcome Augusta to the 20th century (and we'll just ignore the fact that everyone else is in the 21st century -- everyone except Westboro and other bastions of discrimination that are still all too prevalent)!

Welcome Hootie to the sharp end of that famous bayonet-that-you-swore-you'd-still-wouldn't-admit-women-even-if-you-were-being-poked-by-it (and, upon reflection, since Hootie's go-to weapon of duress was a bayonet -- a weapon last heavily used when?  WWI?? -- is it really any surprise that he was so old-fashioned in his thinking)!

One last request -- may I make a suggestion for your third female member?  How does Elin Nordegren, member of Augusta sound?

Days of discrimination down there in Georgia, you will not be missed.

DARLA MOORE -- SHE'S BIG DOWN SOUTH!
