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 Era of Limbaugh: America's Second "Era of Good Feeling" :-)


"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Era of Limbaugh -- so stated by Daily Variety. It's the Era of Limbaugh. You know, the last time there was an "era" of anything, the most previous era, do you know what it was called and do you know what it was? I looked this up. It was the Era of Good Feeling, and it was from 1815 to 1824. I guess that's when partisan bickering took a time-out. The Era of Good Feeling: 1815 to 1824. Now, I think we've had Eras of Good Feeling since, but I think the Era of Limbaugh is actually the Second Era of Good Feeling -- and if the left and the far left and the far, far left and the lunatic-fringe left would only join me and all of us in the good-feeling, so-called center we could really end this bickering by the left."
Rush Limbaugh, November 15, Era Of Limbaugh
