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

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

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."

"But I wanna mock people," Josh whined. He grinned. "The press corps is used to my style."

"But you just said that they poke holes in your programs. So, either the problem is either with the programs, or with your relationship with the press, right?" Even Dawn wasn't crazy enough to suggest that the problem was both.

"The programs are fine!" Josh insisted. He sighed. "So the press can get their stupid donuts."

He brightened up. "Can I get the powdered sugar ones? That'll totally mess up their suits."

"Uh..." Wasn't he the Deputy Chief of Something Important? "Sure! Why not?"
