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.

Typical Topic Tapdancing

As usual, Steve, you've done a good job of dancing around a subject you don't want to discuss but you'd like to diminish.

Instead of zooming over to 'www.junkscience.com' for some ad hominem 'ammo,' then writing around 200 words analyzing Bazell's writing style, maybe you'd like to address whether there is a valid link between increases in ocean temperature and the increasing amount of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Maybe we should just leave those discussions up to professionals, such as Dr. David Adamec — who has worked as a physical oceanographer for NASA since 1988 — and Dr. Stephen Schnieder — a climatologist at Stanford’s Institute for International Studies — the two sources quoted and referenced in the article.
