It still could be. I think the IRS wrinkle is one he will never have to face, but you're right, it's absurd. But so is most of this. Barry Bonds trying to be a hero for using drugs to enhance his performance is absurd. Major League Baseball, and Bud Selig in particular, looking the other way while Bonds, Sosa, Palmiero, McGwire and others "brought the game back" after the last strike, only to now ignore Bonds' "achievement" is absurd./ The fact Bonds has hired a lawyer to sue people who trash him - like Curt Schilling - for using drugs is absurd. Any court system that would even consider such lawsuits is absurd. Then you add our government into the mix, probably charging a college kid thousands in taxes for catching a baseball is extortion and also absurd. Ain't America grand?!

I am sure Benjiman Franklin would smack the IRS with his cane if he heard about that. It is counter to the very intention of the original American Revolution. That seems grossly unAmerican.
