So this is a blog huh, I don't get what all the fuss is about.

Anyway I'm Joe Quincy, I have the reason I have one of these things in my profile.

Basically I sit downstairs in the Steam Pipe Trunk Distribution Venue, aka my office, and do the grunt work of the White House Council's office. Why you ask, cause I have a desire to serve my country.

I don't get to see all the glamour of the White House or the apparent soap opera that goes on up there, I get little information.

All I know is that I don't have many friends now a days, ever since my paper on campaign finance reform the Republicans haven't wanted me, and the fact that I forced Hoynes out of the Vice Presidency didn't endear me to the Democrats. So you the random person who finds this journal will get to know what I know.

Sorry but you won't get inside info, I would like to keep my job.

When something interesting happens I'll write it here, but don't expect much, unless you want to hear about my day of endless paperwork.

Hey man. You know I don't really blame you for the Hoynes thing, right?

I know you don't, you were there and saw that I wasn't happy.

However not everyone was there and you know how information gets twisted when people gossip.

Not too much, just sitting down here surrounded by papers in no assembalance of order. Not like you getting to do all the glory work upstairs.

Says the guy who represents us in court. I'm terribly reassured.

I don't represent you, I do the work for the guy who represents you in court. Kinda like how you represent the American people.

Well I wouldn't say suck but you won't find people saying "I want to grow up to shuffle paperwork in the basement of the White House."

I'd venture most people probably haven't considered that the White House even has a basement.

No I think they think it has one there have been enough movies about a White House basement, like My Fellow Americans or Murder at 1600.

I'm not talkin' a basement to be used for nefarious purposes. People never have any trouble imagining those.

Your probably right, people think of government offices in nice glass buildings, not basements.

They don't let me out to play much, unless you come to my office and see me and ask if I'm a Republican I doubt anyone would tell you.

And here I thought the intellegence people knew everything.

I concern myself primarily with threats that foreign entities pose to our national security. I'm not permitted to spy on Americans without extraordinary legal authorization. So you're safe for now, Joe.

Thank you for your warning there Zoey and thank you for saying hello.

I really didn't think anyone would know about me getting one of these because no one really knows me. I'm thinking Josh told people about it when he commented and, I think the term is friended me.

I guess this is how those nuts with a blog get to be so well read online.

Hi Joe. It's Donna Moss.

Yes, Josh is sneaky like that. Actually, I think we're just such a smallish group that we tend to notice new people relatively quickly. You get used to it after a while.

Well, well. If it isn't Mr. Quincy.

It's CJ Cregg. Just a quick note-- since we've found you, or you've found us, or whatever, I just wanted to stress that anything you say or read in this particular forum isn't fodder for gossip with your Republican allies. Or your Democratic ones, for that matter. It's all, you know, off the record, as confidential as it can be on the internet with 30 or so White House staffers reading you and... yeah. Hi, welcome to the madness.

I'm sure you've already been warned, but any information from this thing leaks, you'll be the best looking divorce attorney this country's seen since Corbin Bernsen.

Oh come on Toby, if I leaked confidencial information that destroyed this White House and made it easier for a Republican to win it back I would be made at least a U.S. Attorney somewhere, maybe even Soliciter General.

[private] I have to start reading my journal - I had some spare time and wanted to see if dufus Doug was up to anything, so I checked out my journal and found out today we have a Republican working here. I'm so out of the loop on the other side of the building, I never knew. [/private]

OOC: It's good to be back.



Annie: Annie has come home to the DC house. She's decided to come every other weekend, just to be alone mostly. She hasn't said anything to anybody about it. She sits in the kitchen, typing some paper and eating a salad. "And this is why we as American Citizens need-" She talks to herself as the types.

Liz: Elizabeth is glad to be back in Georgetown. Her regular OB appointment at GW provides her an excuse to get away for a quiet week. Doug has been so attentive to her needs, he has been driving her a bit crazy. So she convinced him to stay with Gus in New Hampshire, that she would call from the Doctor's office with a report of how things were progressing. She was staying the week, having appointments with her Doctors, the decorator to discuss the baby's room, Rainy Day Funds. And Amy was going to be staying with her. She smiled at the thought as she entered the foyer of the house, not noticing the extra agents outside.

Annie: Annie stops typing, she's almost sure she heard the door open and close. She stands, not wanting to walk into the other room, but does anyhow. "Who goes there?" She smiles.

Liz: Liz looks up, startled by her daughter's presence, "Annie
