The Memory of Filing the Proper Paperwork is Seared, Seared into Him

The AP is reporting that John Kerry has an IRS tax lien filed against his 2004 presidential campaign. The campaign was notified by the IRS that it failed to filed payroll tax forms for 2004. Spokeswoman Whitney Smith says, 'This is a clerical matter, nothing more, nothing less.' She said the IRS must have lost the payroll forms since the Kerry campaign filed them in 2005.

If Kerry says he filed, how could one argue? After all, filing tax documents are memories that become 'seared - seared into me' just like that Christmas in Cambodia.
