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.

Unconventional Wisdom

(Fox News) - Last week we told you about American scientist John Christy — who was part of the U.N.'s IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, saying there is no smoking gun proving that human activity is to blame for global warming.

That did not sit well with Al Gore — who shared the Nobel Prize with the IPCC. He told "The Today Show" that the media is giving too much balance to global warming skeptics — and compared them to people who still believe the earth is flat.

Meanwhile — another IPCC member is ripping Gore and his supporters. Hans Labohm — an economist and author who was an expert reviewer on the panel — says — "Both 'An Inconvenient Truth' and the latest IPCC report labor under cherry-picking, spindoctoring and scare-mongering. Awarding the Nobel Prize for such flawed science is a disgrace."
