...From the New York Times.



To be specific, a political editor of the New York Times. Like, at the desk, working on the paper.
She is in charge of a project.
Apparently they want representatives from what they consider to be some of the top college newspapers in the country to take part in their project.




Somehow...my name came up.




They are going to have me, and whoever else they picked, watch the upcoming presidential debates and do a live blog on how I feel about it, which will scroll along with the live feed they will run.
So yeah. I don't even know what to say right now...

Do the D.A.N.C.E,
1, 2, 3, 4 Fight!
Stick to the B.E.A.T,
Get ready to ignite

You were such a P.Y.T
Catching all the lights
Just easy as A.B.C
That’s how you make it right!

Do the D.A.N.C.E,
Stick to the B.E.A.T,
Just easy as A.B.C
Do the dance,
Do the dance!

The way you move is a mystery,
Do the dance,
You’re always there for music and me.

You may chap me sometimes, but I would never deny that you're a talented writer after having read some of your stuff. If you're getting called up, you earned it. Congratulations, and make the best of it. This could open a few doors for you later on.

I think he should work forum member names into his blog.

Thinking about it, he COULD use things like "Mack" "High Voltage" and others with inconspicuous names.
