According to “research,” you’re more likely to subscribe to The Dysfunction Junction if a make its mission statement easy to digest and write it on a third grade level. I can’t think of an easier way to do that than to make a new paragraph, put quotes around it, and type it in bold, Republican red:

For those capable of digesting a little more, here’s the expanded focus of The Dysfunction Junction using a breakdown of the tagline:

Conservative. College. Caffeine.

Conservative:  First and foremost, I’m a human.  But closely behind that, I’m a conservative.  Does that mean I have never disagreed with one single conservative idea in my life?  Of course not, then I’d be Sean Hannity and I’d give myself migraines.  I do, however, firmly believe that conservative ideas and values, along with an open mind and the ability to compromise, are the key to fixing the mess we’re in right now.  With that in mind, everyone is welcome to participate in the discussion at The Dysfunction.  Liberal, Conservative, Green, Whig, Anti-Federalist, The People’s Party of Australia, doesn’t matter.  You may teach me something I don’t know (doubtful) or even change my mind on an issue (impossible).  The only people I don’t want to hear from are those who still like Jimmy Carter.

College: As a college student, I see first-hand the anti-enthusiasm of most college students when it comes to politics. Here anti-enthusiasm means that students’ response to politics is more than a lack of enthusiasm, but stops just short of launching full-scale nuclear warfare when the subject is brought up.  I’d love to somehow change that, but I’m not a miracle worker.  However, I will be at the South Dock broadcasting on all AM frequencies.  If you’re out there, active college conservatives, you are not alone (I Am Legend reference). Being in college is also what sets me apart from the Rushes and Hannitys of the world.  As does having a brain.

Caffeine: How do people function without caffeine or, more specifically, coffee? I’m a firm believer that coffee and the wonder drug caffeine is the only reason I’ve been able to hold myself together over the years.  On average, I drink at least two pots of coffee and have no intention of slacking off any time soon.  Don’t waste your time telling me it’s unhealthy because I have around 32 pages of charts and fast facts that say otherwise.

But wait, why the name?
While writing for my high school paper, I wrote a column about my absurdly dysfunctional life titled “Dysfunction Junction”.  Since the only thing more dysfunctional than my life is U.S. Politics, I decided I’d keep the legacy alive as I moved into this phase of my life.

Ulterior Motive: I’m Running for President
In the 2048 Presidential election, you’ll be faced with two choices: Me and someone who hasn’t given the 2048 election any thought.  Would you rather have an unprepared, unorganized candidate as the leader of the free world or someone who’s been planning this thing since 2008?  The choice is clear.
