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: In which Steve offers a mea culpa

Steve opines: "This is twice now that I have followed someone down the rathole of a splintered argument. My self discipline is slipping. ... I have also been guilty of following a circular argument for more than one circuit. Bad Steve. Bad, bad Steve. ... Finally, I have committed the sin of reacting to a non sequitur. I am so ashamed. ... I'm guilty as charged, I'm sorry and I promise to do better."

I still don't know what you're talking about...
