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.

Left vs. Right

(Fox News) - A new study by the American Enterprise Institute concludes that left-leaning professors far outnumber conservatives on American college campuses because of the psychological phenomenon called groupthink.

The study by professors at George Mason University and Stockholm University says conservatives and libertarians are outnumbered two-to-one in economics — more than five-to-one in political science — and more than 20-to-one in sociology and anthropology.

The authors say groupthink leads organizations to choose and reward only those people who think and act like the group's dominant members.
