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: Basketball Revisionism

Agenda, agenda, agenda. I guess Hollyweird is going to have to go through a doldrum that wipes out the major players, similar to those of the 1930s, 1950s, and 1980s.

It would be so nice to be able to pick from some good movies that feature major stars and directors that were produced solely for the purpose of entertainment. These days, we pretty much stick with the action/adventure, sci-fi/fantasy, and comic book adaptation genres. If you go see something that isn't pure escapist fare, you risk being bludgeoned with leftist agenda. One notable exception was The March of the Penguins. It was great to see a nature movie without even a single moment of environmentalist BS. I highly recommend it.
