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.

Constitutional Ignorance

From The American Spectator:

The Discovery Channel has conducted a survey and with some significant tinkering (I hope and assume) by the executives at the Discovery Channel has come up with the American public's choice of the 100 greatest Americans of all time. James Madison didn't make the cut, losing out to such luminaries as Madonna, Dr. Phil, and Ellen DeGeneres. That's good news for Senate Democrats whose "constitutional" arguments against getting rid of the filibuster as a tool to block judicial nominees would be laughed at by a more constitutionally literate public.
