US Government [December 11, 2007, 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, looking over huge stacks of press clippings with the name "Matt Santos" highlighted on all of them. "Okay. We've talked about all of the major branches of government and ignored what the states do because I don't care that much. 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."

"His wife is totally hot," Josh said, "so I'm pretty sure she's okay with it."

Bad, bad, bad answer, Josh.

"Are you having an affair with Mr. Santos' wife, Mr. Lyman? The public has the right to know these things!!"

Josh burst out laughing. "My girlfriend knows how to kill people. I'm not completely stupid."

Jury's still out on that, Josh.

"Your girlfriend kills people?" Lana put on her best shocked expression. "Does Mr. Santos' know his campaign manager's girlfriend is an ex-felon? Did you ever help her in the commission of any of these murders?"

"One, no she's not,"--Aly being far too smart to get caught, "and two, I'm not on the Santos campaign." Yet. Details. "And I would certainly not be involved in anything or anyone trying to break the laws of this country."

Lana was giggling too hard to go on very well by this point. "But you're willing to support a transvestite for president?"

"As long as they're a Democrat, sure."

Lana giggled helplessly and gave up. "Okay, you win."
