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.

Bad medicine (Canada's failed heathcare system)

The report on the state of our country’s health care system released by the Fraser Institute last week is a bitter pill to swallow. The gist of the report was that despite increased spending by government on the health care system, the improvement in the delivery of timely treatment has been negligible. In fact, the overall average time between a patient seeing a general practitioner and being treated by a specialist has decreased by only one day, which is a devastating condemnation of the efficiency of public healthcare in Canada.

Too bad Behethland is on vacation all this week. She really needs to read this...
