Maybe McCain Can Ban Him for Life

Missouri state legislator Jeff Roorda, a Democrat, wants to introduce a tax on visiting umpires officiating sporting events in the state. Why?

Roorda said his idea grew out of his frustration with umpires in the National League Championship Series. […]

"I think if they're not going to pay attention, they ought to at least pay taxes," Roorda said.

I'm beginning to think we need a new Constitutional amendment: Congress and all other jackass legislative bodies shall pass no laws having anything to do with professional sports, ever. (Link via Radley Balko.)
