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: Are Republicans Kidding Us?

Steve opines: "The Republicans get points for sheer huzpah, but not much else. Sadly, though, Joe Sixpack is still so terrified of the Democrats, he'll probably buy this vial of snake oil. Weep for the republic."

If Republicans keep control of Congress in the fall, it will be because the Democrats are not offering a serious alternative. I'll admit, thinking of Nancy Pelosi as speaker does give me chills because she is dumb as an ox (No offense to an ox.) And the thought of Charles Rangel and John Conyers heading key committees does worry me because they are Marxists.
