Conservative. College. Caffeine.” Kent McCarty (@TheDysJunction) lives by these three words.

“The world of political punditry is dominated by adults, which gives young people the impression that politics is only for adults,” McCarty said. “Of course, those who have followed the primary election thus far know that politics isn’t just your grandfather’s game.”

This is why McCarty, a freshman at the University of Southern Mississippi, launched his political blog The Dysfunction Junction, last September. McCarty says he called his blog The Dysfunction Junction because “the only thing more dysfunctional than my life is U.S. Politics.” Dysfunction and all, it’s where conservatism, college life, and caffeine combine to form an irresistible read.
