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."

Sam raised his hand.

"Does the press secretary actually call the press corps incompetent alcoholics to their faces? Because I don't think that would create a very positive work environment."

Irulan shared Josh's sentiment about the press and reluctantly asked the first question she could think of, "What is the President's stance against inflation?"

"Has the President ever thought about branching out and starting relations with really foreign countries?"

Cedric didn't really know how to phrase this so he went with what he could.

Interesting turn of phrase. "Does your denial suggest that a secret plan has been brought up before?"

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

"Are there times when they don't annoy you?" It was possible Sam had picked up on some of Josh's attitude quirks over the semester.

"How would he know about the secret plan to fight inflation?"

Dawn raised her hand. "If your programs are so brilliant, why do they have holes in them?"

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