US Government [Friday, April 13, 1st period]

There was a lectern in the front of the class with a hastily sketched seal of the President of the United States on in.

Josh lounged behind it. "Okay. We've talked about all of the major branches of government and ignored what the states do, as is right and proper. There is one more group of people we should probably talk about. Their job is to misinterpret everything you do, poke holes in your brilliant programs, and general make your life miserable. They call themselves the Fourth Estate and think they're sooooooo important just because they're protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution."

Josh made a "blah, blah, blah" gesture with his hands. "They are the press corps and a bigger bunch of incompetent alcoholics you couldn't hope to meet. Today, you get to be them!"

He straightened up behind the lectern. "And I will be myself and tell you all why you're wrong."

"Well, um..." He really didn't know how to say this. "Wait, what's so wrong about talking to England?"

"Three words," Josh said. "Lord. John. Marbury."

"I don't know him," Cedric said. "You would hold an entire country accountable for one person you seem to dislike?"

"If you knew Lord Marbury, you wouldn't have to ask that," Josh said. "Yes, yes I do."

"So, you hold me accountable for someone I don't even know and probably never will?"

Josh thought about it. "Yup."

"That doesn't seem very fair," Cedric said. "What if I said I disliked all teachers because of someone like yourself? That's not fair to my other professors who don't hold Lord John Marbles against me."

"If they knew him, they'd hold it against you," Josh decided. "But maybe you're not from the same England. In which case, hail Brittania and pass the tea."

Cedric's angry retort was ready on his lips but it died into a quiet laugh at Josh's last statement.

"I'm not from the same England, I dare say," he answered. "I doubt your Lord John has ever been to where I'm from."

"Then I apologize to your version," Josh said magnanimously.

"And I apologize to you on behalf of all teachers," he said politely.
