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.

One more time...

Tucker Miller responds to Steve:

Steve, you really should have gone back and read the post. If you had, you would see that it's not the mere fact that MR has a problem with the film being shown at UNCA that is so ridiculous. It is the fact that he tries to turn his prudish argument into a "wasted tax money issue" that gets me upset.

If MR objected strictly on morality, that's cool with me (in fact I said this already in both posts). But when MR tries to make it an issue of a misuse of tax money is when he makes himself a HUGE hypocrite. Because if he really was concerned about USING TAX $$$ for immoral purposes, he'd be writing about the hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars spent to kill civilians rather than the $100 spent to show some smut.
