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: Coastal Woes? Move Inland!

Steve said: "The solution to that is simply for the government to close its purse. Given the nature of prevailing conditions on the outer banks, the best way I can think of to limit growth is for the government to stop subsidizing it. ... If you live on the coast and a hurricane or a flood wipes you out, tough bananas. Move inland."

Steve is exactly right... It's such a simple solution; that's why it will probably never happen.
