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.

Naming Rights

(Fox News) - Social Security records indicate an unprecedented drop-off in the number of parents who have named their daughters "Hillary" in the past two decades.

The name rose steadily beginning in the sixties and was the 131st most popular name in 1992 — the year Bill Clinton was elected president. But it fell what we are told is a record 295 places in 1994 and by 1998 it was down to 868th.

"Hillary" dropped off the top-one thousand list entirely in 2002 and currently sits at number 982.
