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."

"You do admit that the conspiracy implicates even the presidency." If Irulan was a real reporter she would have flashed him a triumphant smile by now.

Josh rolled his eyes.

"I didn't."

"You said and I quote: 'It's a vast conspiracy going straight to the heart of the government'. Are you now denying this statement?"

"Are you sure you don't know Danny?" Josh asked, banging his head on the podium. "Can no one here take a joke?!"

"These are very important matters, Mr. Lyman, lives might be at stake, are you sure you do not want to give me a straight answer?"

Josh banged his head on the podium again. "There's no conspiracy," he said to the rhythm of his head. "I just don't like you."
