Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

RE: RE: Bill Bennett's Recommended Reading

Steve Brenneis responds to Behethland B. Clark:

Things have apparently changed since you were there. My children were offered the opportunity to read very few of those and were required to read none of them. Of course, since most of those titles are on the shelves in our home, they ended up reading many of them.

Are you telling me they had you read the Bible? I'm surprised someone didn't put the ACLU on them.
