In the latest Sam's Club advertising circular, they advertise a high roller trip to the Kentucky Derby for $89,000. Private jet and yadda yadda yadda. Unbelievable.

I always thought of Sam's as a discount merchandiser but I may have to change my thinking..

Oh and it does come with those $1000 Mint Juleps we discussed last year.

I thought The Queen (well, at least the one from London) was NOT attending the Kentucky Derby.

Has that changed?

I suspect this trip is probably as some sort of passenger/servant in the Wal-Mart private jet.
