Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Disastrous Faith: A belief system sticking blame on Bush.

From Jonah Goldberg:

A slew of partisans have already declared that George W. Bush is responsible for this disaster because of his policies on global warming and the Kyoto treaty. Cindy Sheehan, with the sort of desperation that comes at the end of 15 minutes of fame, declared Bush was "heading to Louisiana to see the devastation that his environmental policies and his killing policies have caused."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blamed Mississippi's Republican Governor Haley Barbour for the devastation. "Now we are all learning what it's like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence which Barbour and his cronies have encouraged."
