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.

Three Weeks of the Con Man


From George Neumayr, the executive editor of The American Spectator:

The left used to pride itself on blowing the identities of CIA agents and mucking up their operations. Look at some of the left's favorite movies, such as Robert Redford's anti-CIA, pro-leaking vehicle Three Days of the Condor. "Covert operative" in the mouths of leftists was once an occasion for cursing and gnashing of teeth; now they utter it in the hushed tones of admiration.
