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: So very, very scary

So you're saying that you have no problem with the fact that Bush lied to everyone when he said that the NSA program only involved overseas calls?
My problem is that elements of this program is being leaked to the press.


And you have no problem with the government keeping a database of who you called and when you called them?
No, not really.


And you don't mind that some terrorist calling you by mistake will probably end up putting you on some list deep in the bowels of the NSA?
They are looking at call patterns... If a terrorist calls me by mistake, it will show that it was a one time call and there will be no pattern for them to investigate.


What's wrong with you, Andy? Are you really that willing to give everything over to Big Brother?
I'm not as paranoid as you... :-)
