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.

Edwards leaving UNC poverty center to concentrate on run for presidency


Star News

Former Sen. John Edwards has resigned as director of the poverty center he founded at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill so he can focus on his second run for president.

I guess the War on Poverty is solved now since Edwards resigned. Look at all he has accomplished with the poverty center:

In his resignation letter Thursday to law school dean Jack Boger, Edwards said the center had already had some success by holding conferences and panel discussions. In April, the center is expected to publish a book of scholarly essays called Ending Poverty in America.

I can't help but laugh... This is good political comedy. :-)
