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.

Behethland B. Clark responds to Steve Brenneis:

No. I absolutely do not believe that college is for everyone. If you are a goof-off in high school, you don't deserve to go to college. Leave that space for someone who deserves it.

BUT. You don't know how your child is going to turn out, so you'd better be prepared. If one wants any chance at success in this day and age, one must have a college education. It's almost to the point that a bachelor's degree isn't enough. Most employers are looking for graduate degrees now.

(Exceptions are professional athletes and musicians, but even they may need something to fall back on!)
