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.

Wednesday Funnies...

Jay Leno.... Two jurors in the Michael Jackson case now say they've changed their minds; they now say Michael is guilty. I believe the legal term for this is "book deal." .... It's kind of sad, in California; it's always the jury who's the last to know. .... Jose Canseco is now selling his World Series ring on his website for $40,000. He didn't want to sell it, but since he's off steroids, he can only wear it as a bracelet now. .... President Bush has indicated that the President of Iran will receive a visa to come to the United States. I'm as shocked as you. You still need a visa to come to the U.S.? I thought they did away with that stuff years ago. .... After a month-long search, the White House has hired the first female chef in history. And the administration is making a big deal about the fact that she's a female. Finally, women getting into cooking! .... Democrats have been complaining that President Bush has spent more than 21 percent of his time in office out of the White House. That's nothing -- since Bush has been president, the Democrats have been out of the White House 100 percent of the time. .... Well President Bush signed a big $286 billion highway bill [last week]. The sad part, $285 billion of it is for gas money. .... Another record was set this week -- crude oil is so expensive now, a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken costs more than $300!
