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.

Greg Pratt is at it again

I got a postcard in the mail with some snarky nonsense on it about some of the deputies getting a $15,000 raise.

Is Pratt running for Sheriff or for County Commissioner? That kind of raise would have to be budgeted. And in any case, so what if some of the deputies got bigger raises than the others? Is Pratt trying to unionize the deputies or run for Sheriff? What's his point? Is he saying the Sheriff isn't fair? Cry me a freakin' river, dude. I couldn't give a rat's butt whether the Sheriff pays all his deputies the same thing. I care whether the Sheriff is catching criminals and protecting my property.
