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.

Wednesday Funnies :-)

It seems the little tiff between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton has really heated up since their last argument at the last Democratic debate. They have become distant. They barely speak to each other now. When they do speak, it’s really icy. As Hillary calls that, “marriage.” ... More bad news today for John McCain. John McCain’s media team has resigned. But McCain says he intends to stay in the race, according to the campaign’s new media spokesman, John McCain. ... A panel investigating NASA found a heavy use of alcohol by astronauts before launches. In at least two occasions, astronauts were allowed to fly while so intoxicated that they actually posed a health risk. Maybe that’s why they call it the Kennedy Space Center. ... They said today on one mission, the astronauts were so drunk they were actually wearing their diapers on their heads. ... According to a study by The New England Journal of Medicine, obesity can be “socially contagious.” That means the more time you spend hanging around heavy people, the more likely you will become fat. Obesity can be contagious? Do you believe that? Hey, if it was contagious Clinton would have contracted it years ago. He would way 1,100 pounds now.
