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: Guatemala urged to act on murders

Only Mexico separates us from this problem, yet we're spending billions to liberate Iraq. Amazing.

So what's your point? Are you saying we should interfere with the internal affairs of Guatemala? Are you saying we should swing our armies into action for every hysterical report that the idiots at Amnesty International and the BBC choose to trumpet across the news wires?

No doubt what is happening is terrible, but if you think this is new or even extreme for Central and South America, then you've been living a sheltered life, my boy.
