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: Clear skies end global dimming

Steve Brenneis opines:

This is what happens when you let stupid children pretend to be grown up scientists.

Let me get this straight. We were unhappy because there was a lot of pollution in the air. So we have force-fed the American public on a diet of inefficient automobiles, expensive energy, and onerous government regulation. So now that there is less pollution, we need to be unhappy about that because that bad old sun will play havoc with the weather (which, incidentally, it has been doing around these parts for several billion years). Maybe Barbara Boxer can find a way to levy a tax on sunlight and Nancy Pelosi can create a bureaucracy to regulate the sun itself.

I would say this is funny if not for the fact that some liberal moron in Congress will probably actually try to do something about this.
