An Embarrassment of Riches

I'm sure that the following sentiment is highly subversive but I'm really experiencing difficulty mustering any enthusiasm for the 9 million dollar, winner take all golf match between Tiger Woods and Phil Michelson to be held on Friday in Las Vegas. The prospect of two gazillionaires playing golf for additional millions, being sponsored by the bazillionaire Capital One Bank, and underwritten by the mega-bazillionaire AT&T while over 5 million working families in the U.S. continue to languish in poverty this Thanksgiving somehow fails to inspire interest in watching this spectacle at the citadel of materialism.
