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.

The writers are Jewish. ... The U.S. World News & Report cover story this week is about the fact in just a month the U.S. population will hit 300 million people. The Census Bureau says it will happen October 27th depending on whether they are caught by the border patrol. ... Bob Woodward has a new book out. He’s had three now. In the first two he said that President Bush was firmly in command. Now in the third one he says that the Bush administration is in denial with confusion and bickering.

Unfortunately when Al Gore gives a speech most people leave the room for a cigarette. ... A reporter said today in the news that he overheard John Kerry saying that he is pretty much feeling what you need to feel to run for president. You know what John?
