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: Who's reality?

"You know, sometimes people form opinions because that is the way they feel; not because that's what someone told them they should believe."

Of course, but the more rational of us form our opinions around facts. Feelings are pretty unreliable as far as their use for foundations of universal truth goes. In fact, I'd venture to say that those waters are downright muddy.

"I would ask what 'reality' you're living in to think that every unwanted child is going to be adopted?"

Reading is Fundamental, redux.

Where did I write that I believed that? You guys have got to stop responding to what you think I said. If I have to defend what I actually said as well as what you imagined I said, this is going to get hard to follow.
