Default Memo to Bush

When I pay my taxes this week, I'm thinking of putting something clever on the memo line of the check.
I was thinking of something like: "W's illegal war".

Could I get in trouble for something like that?
Or would they just add my name to the watch list?

I think you'd be OK. I say go for it.

So long as you have all the necessary information (payable to Internal Revenue Service or Department of the Treasury [they changed it a few years ago], include your name, SSN, and tax year, etc.) and so long as the check can be cashed, I don't think anybody cares what else you write on the check.

Perhaps "bold" or "underline".

"clever" must mean something different to you than it does to the rest of us.

That reminds me of the TV news story i saw a few years ago about people who wrote clever things on their speeding-ticket payment checks and then got contempt of court charges from the judge. IRS>judge=>auuuuudit
