Political Campaigning [Tuesday, March 21, 4th period]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh was sitting behind his desk for all the world like he hadn't been gone for almost a month.

He gave the Campaigning class a welcoming grin when they arrived.

"Hey all," he said, checking his syllabus. "I think we're supposed to be talking about political consultants and other people you hire. It's pretty easy. Hire Bruno Gianelli. It'll cost your soul, but he's a steal at that kind of price."

He kicked his feet onto his desk. "What'd I miss?" He looked around the room. "And, um, Rory--how many days until the election?"

Josh grinned. "I couldn't turn down the opportunity to warp young minds for low pay, Donna." He scrubbed his hands through his hair. "Turns out trying to negotiate peace in the Middle East is just as hard as it looks." He raised an eyebrow. "Did you know they still hate each other? President Bartlet likes to check every couple of years."

He sighed. "Talk about a waste of a month."

"Dad does pretty good business down there," Jake noted. "But he only negotiates fees, really."

"Negotiates fees, huh," Josh said. "What kind of business?"

"Courier. Dad's boss of International Infonet... which probably doesn't exist in your world, huh?"

"Not so much, no," Josh said. "Is it information sharing kind of stuff? I can see how that would be big in the Middle East."

"We facilitate sharing of any and all things, really. But we're pretty strickt when it comes to moving people. 'Cause of the tendency it has of going boom. Literally speaking."

"You have exploding people where you come from?" Josh said, looking confused. "That aren't suicide bombers or something?"

"Yeah, sometimes." Jake gave him an equally confused look.

Josh blinked. "Yeah. I'm not so used to that."
