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.

Democrats Without Choice

From Sean Higgins in today's The American Spectator:

"Every senator, Republican and Democrat, should understand that women will not stand idle as the right wing attempts to take control of the Supreme Court and impose government interference on our most personal decisions. If that happens, I fully expect to see a political firestorm like the one we saw after the Thomas confirmation."
That's Ellen Malcolm, president of the pro-choice group Emily's List and a major figure in Democratic circles, laying down the law in a press release regarding Sandra Day O'Connor's resignation. What's noteworthy here is that she felt it necessary to direct her "Fire Next Time" warning to "every senator, Republican and Democrat."
