PC: The Next Generation

October 31, 2008

We want to welcome our two newest authors, Heather McIntosh and Becca Burley.  These two will be among the next generation of writers for Political Cartel.  This blog will continue to thrive and provide the the blogosphere with intellectual content coming out of Harding University for years to come with authors like these.  We thank them for answering our help wanted ad and we are excited to see what they bring to this blog!

Heather is a sophomore English and History major from Bellevue, Nebraska. She writes on her own Livejournal blog, and has been a reader and commenter of Political Cartel for a long time.  Heather is articulate, passionate and opinionated, and enjoys expressing independent views.  Heather reads books ravenously and enjoys debate on a wide range of issues.  After graduating, she plans on attending law school in Boston.

Becca is a sophomore English and History major from Searcy, Arkansas.  She has written on a private Livejournal blog and a public Blogspot blog for about a year. She identifies as an Independent with liberal leanings.  Becca may seem quiet in person, but she loves to express her thoughts in writing, and brings a lot of unique insight to the relevant religious and social issues today.  She is especially interested in feminist studies.  After graduating, she hopes to get her masters in Library Sciences and spend the rest of her life working around books and writing on Sex and Gender in the Church.

    Way to go Becca and Heather! I’m very proud of you but since I’m Becca’s mom I guess I’m supposed to say that.

    Thanks to all the PC writers for giving us ongoing food for thought.

    j_ball, that’s why I’m a history major. Having you showed me how incompetent America’s teaching system is and I’m seeking to right all the wrong people like you have done to our youth.

    Kidding. :D

    Once you get to know me, I can totes be the loudest person EVER.

    But really, I’m crazy shy and it takes me forever to open up to people. ♥
