CBS teevee reminds me this morning that a golf tournament happens later this week. This excites me because it could easily produce news of sufficient drama and significance to push the hide-and-seek for a Malaya airplane off Page One.
It would help this national media rebalance if professional feminists, strangely silent this Master's season, would tune up their shriek cords and track down some network news crews. It could be they are still sedated by recent pro-diversity decisions in Augusta, but certainly there's something still bitchworthy, maybe a lack of unisex locker rooms or something like that, Anyway, without socio-cultural drama, all that really happens down there is a golf game with muted baritone announcers saying, "Let's go to 17."
One other possibility exists, though I may have to orchestrate the national outrage all by myself. CBS chose to hustle the tournament today with a darling feature on some pre-pubes playing the course, including a lovely 11-year-old Chinese -American lass who "drives 163 yards ... you will hear more of her."
That's sad in and of itself, but another factoid adds to it. This youngster was handed her first mashie at age six and ordered, or encouraged, to practice golf, and if that doesn't constitute actionable child abuse, I don't know what does.

Is it child abuse to direct your child's energy to anything or just golf? Baseball? Soccer? Music? The family business?
All the said I'm sickened by those pictures of the little girls made up for the beauty pageants.
Mostly golf. but soccer is a close runner-up. Music is okay if it isn't the kind that has to be plugged into the wall. :)
