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: The 'MTV Generation' speaks

I can save readers of the BP the time and effort of reading Rachel's comments. She just wanted to call me names and had nothing substantive to offer the discussion. She offered nothing to back her assertions as to my character, which is why I didn't respond to her directly. I'm hoping you don't think her comments did anything to further your argument, Strother. That would be disappointing.

Well yes, I did want to call you names. It was rude, and I apologize. But it didn't look like a discussion to me, but a name calling session. If talent is a purely subjective topic doesn't it warrant a discussion that's more sandbox than soapbox? Unless the idea of talent as a purely subjective topic is up for debate. Not name calling.
