Gate Needs Some Wine

Alligator was assigned to give a briefing to the VPOTUS. He prepared his .ppt and made sure to get in all the talking points his boss had said to use.

The briefing would cover all the work the OLC had done to prepare for the congressional hearings Judge Sotomayer was going to have.

The VP, Joe Biden was to come to the OLC at 100pm. However, he didn't show up. Alligator waited and waited and waited.

It was 400 pm and Biden hadn't come. Then Gate got a call from his office.

"Did you use the talking points?", Gate's boss asked.

"Well no..." Gate started, intending to say why.

"Then you are in big trouble." said Gate's boss who hung up.

Gate called the office of the VPOTUS and they said that Biden should be there soon.

Gate stayed at the office until 900pm. Then he called the office of the VPOTUS again and this time they told him that Mr. Biden was out of town all day and couldn't make the briefing. They were 'sorry' for the inconvenience.

Gate Does Research

Gate's first big job in the Office of Legal Counsel was making sure they thoroughly researched all the speeches of Judge Sonia Sotomayor.

This was necessary because subsequent to her nomination in May, people were a bit upset at some of the things she said.

So his job was to:

1. Come up with excuses or plausible misunderstandings for every possibly offensive thing she had ever said, and

2. Make sure there weren't more speeches out there needed similar servicing.

It was a messy job.

UGA thinks about it

Grad asked UGA if he (UGA) would provide some security while he (Grad) begins to work out a 'deal' with the hedge fund.

UGA said that he was quite capable for providing security for this.

Grad was still a bit hesitant but the hedge fund offer was pretty good.

Grad Confers with Coke

Graduation Bear decided another conference with Coke Bear was needed. The earlier conference resulted in Grad getting a job with a Hedge Fund but the work was difficult and degrading.

Coke discussed the work he does consulting for a big corporation. The nice thing about this is that once you know dirt about the corporation, they will pay you to consult with them as long as you don't dish the dirt out to the world.

Grad was very interested.
