this year's excitement

every year back at school, something rather "exciting" happens.

last year we had the President of Iran come, year before we had the minutemen fiasco.

this year, obama and mccain will share a stage on campus to talk NOT about politics, but about civic engagement and public service.

pictures to hopefully follow after today.

"In their first joint appearance since the party conventions, presidential nominees John McCain and Barack Obama will discuss service and civic engagement in the post-9/11, post-Katrina world during the primetime televised "ServiceNation Presidential Candidates Forum" on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 11, hosted by Columbia University in the City of New York, as part of the ServiceNation Summit."
