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.

Re: Wal Mart/Sam's Rawks... or It's Called A Loss Leader

Steve said: All you Wal-Mart haters out there can go (insert rude suggestion here).

...buy gas at the Hess/Wilco at the intersection of Silas Creek and Peters Creek?

I know, that's not a rude suggestion, but it's what I did yesterday evening and got the same deal you did. Plus, I didn't have to have a Wilco/Hess membership and buy my Corn Flakes in 50 gallon barrels to do so. Sorry to rain on your "I Heart The Mart" parade.

In all seriousness, though, that is a good deal. Other than what I found last night (which may or may not still be available at that price) everything else I've seen in W/S has been $2.99 for an 87 octane gallon of gas.
