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 suggestion box

By Mike Adams

Dear Mr. Garthwaite:


I am writing to respectfully request that you put an end to your November Town Hall fund-raiser. Recently, the college at which I am employed has experienced profound anxiety and gerif [sic] as a consequence of a column posted on townhall.com

The controversy in question arose when a Christien [sic] group on our campus tried to show a film known as “The Passion of the Christ.” Knowing what is best for our students, we decided to ban the film on the basis of its “R” rating.

That is when the trouble began.
