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: Greens Are the Real Energy Problem

Steve Brenneis responds to the Red Headed Step Child:

Did you read the article or did you just respond to the headline?

The article is one big suggestion: ignore the greens and go get the oil. I can add another, ignore the greens and refine the oil!

The article wasn't about Halliburton or Cheney, it was about cowardly congress-critters who knee-jerk to the noisiest of environmentalists and create a crisis where one didn't exist before. Far from it being a case of destroying anything to get to every drop of oil, environmentalists howl like monkeys when anyone suggests going after any oil. I guess environmentalists think we can all drive to work on happy thoughts and good feelings.
