We rifled through duds at a thrift store (Phil bought a grey blazer to wear with his T-shirts and jeans because he&#8217;s such a Richie Tenenbaum wannabe), played with the baby ferrets at Petland, and smiled triumphantly at Books-a-Million when, as we were examining the table of recently published political books, a snarky woman and her rugrats passed us and remarked, &#8220;You&#8217;d think they&#8217;d have a table of Republican books but I guess you have to go to the Christian bookstore for that.&#8221; The joke&#8217;s on her: there <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">were <\/span>some Republican books on that table; they were just buried by the mountains of anti-Bush books that have come out lately.<\/p>\n<p>Phil, Jimbo and I watched the debate last night, trying to pinpoint times when W. might have been receiving instructions in an earpiece. It&#8217;s hard to tell. Either way, once again, he stood there stupified as John Kerry ruled.<\/p>\n<p>After the debate, my mom called me and said I received a letter from the IRS. Apparently, when I filed online way back in March, the IRS didn&#8217;t get a crucial piece of info from me. I have 10 days to respond, or else they claim ownership of my firstborn.<\/p>\n<p>I have two tests today &#8212; both of which I&#8217;m destined to fail, especially if I continue to waste my time blogging and not studying. Is it possible to memorize the 17 distinct fallacies of arguments in about 30 minutes?
