Rating: pg
Author's Notes: 981 words. Very specific season two spoilers. Set immediately post 2x20, The Fall's Gonna Kill You. It's been too long since I've written these characters, so con-crit is both welcome and appreciated. All mistakes are mine. These characters belong to Sorkin.

For the one and only justforyoudear.

Title: Armageddon is on Channel Eleven
Summary: At least we're not the ones inheriting this mess.
Rating: pg-13
Author's Notes: 1,535 words. Written after Thursday's VP debate. Cracktastic. Slightly AU, future-fic considering Bartlet would have had to serve his two terms and a Republican would have taken office after him. Assumed Josh/Donna and Sam/Ainsley relationships. Not republican friendly in the slightest, so don't read if you're easily offended. Also, keep in mind that the Bartlet Administration, while exceptionally fantastic and bipartisan most of the time, did not miss an opportunity to poke fun at the opposition.
