"Hey, everyone," Josh said with welcoming smile from the front of the classroom as his students filtered in. "I'm Josh Lyman. I used to be the chief of staff for President Matt Santos--if you haven't heard of him, don't feel too bad--" which meant that Josh wanted you to feel a little bad because he used to be someone important, okay, "--and now I'm here to use my considerable knowledge about America and US history to teach you about some of the parts of our past most text books tend to skate past because they aren't pretty."

Josh shrugged. "I was a professional political operative for twenty years. I'm not used to pretty. Anyway, let me learn a little bit about you first. I need to know if I'm dealing with Kennedy assassination conspiracy theorists, 'what the hell's America' people, or something in between."

He pointed to the first student that caught his attention. "You. Sparky. Go first. Oh, and I need a TA to bring me coffee and other really important stuff, so if you want to help with that, hit me up after class."

"I'm Johnny Storm and I'm kind of partial to Kennedy. The man did good work," Johnny said. He was talking about Marilyn Monroe. And let's face it, you knew he was talking about Marilyn Monroe.

"And I have a lot of respect for both him and his brother hooking up with Marilyn Monroe." Just in case you didn't know.

Josh burst out laughing. "It was their patriotic duty, really, aside from the whole infidelity problem."
