Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Guess Where President Bush Ranks in TIME Magazine's List of Influential People?

(Fox News) - President Bush may be down in the polls — but he is still commander in chief of the armed forces and wields a veto pen that can stop Congress in its tracks. You might think that would make him an influential person. But TIME Magazine does not think so.

The magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" includes soccer player Thiery Henry, video game creator Shigeru Miyamoto and fashion designer Alber Elbaz. Usama bin Laden is there, along with Rosie O'Donnell, Raul Castro, Justin Timberlake and Kate Moss.

But the list does not include President Bush, though Queen Elizabeth made the cut.
