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.

Wednesday Funnies...

President Bush's approval rating has dropped to 45 percent -- the lowest ever for him. The White House blames it on the fact that Bush hasn't invaded anyone in three years. To give you an idea how low his approval rating is, only three of the nine Supreme Court justices would vote for him. .... In fact it is so low, today he was named an honorary Democrat. .... President Bush is combining first lady Laura Bush's campaign for literacy with his war on drugs. It's a new program he calls, "Just spell 'no'." .... Gasoline prices continue to rise here in California. Prices are the highest in the nation, well over three dollars a gallon in some places. Unbelievable. The gas station near my house, they have a slot for your credit card and another one for your 401(k). .... You know what I watched last night -- I hadn't seen it in about 20 years -- "Mad Max, the Road Warrior," the Mel Gibson movie. It takes place when gas is so precious, people are killing each other for a couple of gallons. And it was set some time in the future -- I think it was the summer of 2005. .... President Bush says this week he will ask Congress to further loosen immigration laws. Apparently he found out there were still some people left in Mexico.
