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.

RALEIGH -
There’s an old rule in the column-writing business to which I’ve spent a career adhering: Report it once, sell it many times.

That is, find some information and repackage it for as many different paying customers as possible. If you’re working exclusively for one guy - as I am now - get at least two columns out of each bit.

In that spirit, it’s time to answer the questions I posed last week about the political ramifications of the General Assembly’s special sessions on Gov. Mike Easley’s veto of a bill giving $40 million in subsidies to Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
