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.

The collapse of the left-wing

From Bill O'Reilly:

"Ultra-liberal cover boy George Soros has poured at least $20 million into an organization called 'America Coming Together.' Apparently that organization has run out of money and is evaporating. The same thing is happening to Air America, which now must pay back almost $900,000 for a dubious loan it got from a youth organization. That radio network cannot support itself because of low ratings and unless Soros or another liberal sugar daddy steps up Air America may soon join America Coming Together on the scrap heap. Talking Points is thrilled these enterprises are imploding because they are full of character assassins who destroy decent discourse. Karma is a wonderful thing. But we do need responsible voices on the left in this country. America is great because legitimate debate sharpens thought and leads to better problem solving. Although I have severely criticized the LA Times, for example, I don't want it to fail. The country needs a responsible newspaper in the nation's second largest city. The changes being made at the Times hopefully will bring a more fair presentation. The quicker George Soros and his stooges leave the stage, the better. But once again, honest liberal thought is vital to a strong democracy. I'd be worried if there's nothing left but the right."
