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.

Bad Reviews

(Fox News) - Rock singer John Mellencamp has asked John McCain to stop playing his songs at campaign rallies. Mellencamp is a Democrat who supported John Edwards. Rolling Stone reports his people have been talking to McCain's people about pulling the plug on the songs.

McCain rallies have featured the Mellencamp tunes "Our Country" and "Pink Houses". The latter song features one lyric about what it calls "the simple man" paying for "the thrills, the bills and the pills that kill."

We asked McCain's campaign for a response — but they did not get back to us.
