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.

United in greed, divided it falls

Mark Steyn dazzling us again with his brilliance. I fail to understand why we are still involved in the UN. If it was an American corporation, it would be under microscopic examination by half a dozen alphabet-soup federal agencies. The mainstream media would screaming for a public pillory. Where's the outrage?

I can't really agree with Steyn's final thesis in this, mostly because it is a little too Machiavellian for me, but his analysis on the UN is spot on, as usual.
