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.

Morning Funnies...

Jay Leno... Big announcement today from FEMA. They say they believe a big hurricane has hit New Orleans. They can't confirm it. ... At the vice president's press conference a heckler kept yelling obscenities at him and had to be taken away. Let me tell you something—this time Hillary has gone too far. ... One nice thing is a lot of foreign countries are helping us out. Like today, France sent a donation. They sent a truckload of white flags for people to wave when they're waiting to be rescued. ... Did you know [former FEMA director] Michael Brown is a lawyer?... Leave it to Bush to find the only lawyer in history who's slow getting to a disaster. Usually, they're the first ones there handing out business cards. ... Did you hear what rapper Kayne West said about the power outage? He said "George Bush does not care about blackouts." ... In an interview on Iraqi television, the new Iraqi president says that Saddam Hussein has confessed to ordering the deaths of thousands. A confession! Or, as California juries call it, reasonable doubt.
