Women's groups should look beyond Amen Corner for the bad guys.(The Orlando Sentinel)

ORLANDO _ I am a pig, a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal who believes the only place for a woman at Augusta National is in the kitchen.

That realization hit me Saturday as I watched Martha Burk, head of the National Council of Women's Organizations, lamenting Augusta's latest move in the Great Golf Gender War.

"There is a moral imperative that they not discriminate against half the population," Burk said.

Forgive me, Mother, for I have sinned. I simply cannot work up the proper moral indignation.

Please understand, it would be great if Augusta had 100 female members. I just don't like it when a group puts a gun to the head of anyone who doesn't automatically embrace its views.

The NCWO was making veiled threats against Masters sponsors. That bullet was removed when Augusta announced it will not have commercials next year. As much as I like insurance ads, I can't help feeling justice was served.

There is no easier target for politically correct ridicule than Augusta National, where rich, (mostly) white guys supposedly sit around playing poker with Confederate money while women folk fetch their slippers.
