The essentials

I watched an episode of The West Wing last night. I’ve watched them probably six times before, back to back, but I still enjoy them.

The episode I watched yesterday was the second to last episode that was ever made, and focus on the transition between President Bartlet and President-elect Santos.

C.J. Gregg, the chief of staff, is getting a lot of job offers, and can’t really decide. Enter: Frank Hollis. Multimillionaire ala Bill Gates. He offers her 10 billion US dollar to help the developing world. He suggests fighting malaria or other health initiatives.

C.J. wants to build roads. And boreholes.

All I can say – come to Sudan, C.J.
