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.

The Rich and Proud Vs. Christianity

Did someone ask Ayn to apologize? I'll bet they're sorry after she rambled on for days about it.

Of course this paranoid rant isn't surprising coming from Rand. She was a capitalism-worshipping athiest. Which is fine. I don't really care. That's her deal, and like most folks, I like having nice stuff, too.

But I naturally assume that since Steve posted this that he agrees with her overall pompous sentiment here... or maybe not. Maybe he just knows that those who respect what Jesus said about this sort of pride find it funny and extremely contridictory coming from folks who enjoy leaning on Christian doctrine to support many of their beliefs.

What's next, a quote from someone singing the praises of the death penalty, followed by an anti-abortion tirade? Well, at least it's always entertaining around here, that's for sure.
