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 Tanya thanks Steve for making the case for Prozac


You sure do have a funny way to win people to your way of thinking, loser.


I guess you prefer the snake oil approach. Sorry, I work from reality and rationalism (Remember them? You were the one who invoked them). You'll have to find someone else to tell you soothing lies.

You also failed at making the argument for an equivalence between my dislike for Bush and that of the radical left. I doubt you will find anyone from MoveOn.org giving you the reasons I did. I promise you that no one from MoveOn.org will accuse Bush of being a closet leftist, as I have repeatedly done. In any case, creating simplistic and jingoistic equivalences like that is the next to last resort of a lost argument.


You do know that they have therapists and medicine to help you with your paranoia.



It sounds like to me that you're a bitter old man.


And ad hominem and name-calling are the last resorts of a lost argument.
