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.

Groups Struggle to Clean Up Mess Illegal Immigrants Leave Behind


(Fox News) - The latest battle in the war on illegal immigration isn't over the smuggling of undocumented workers, it's over the trash they leave behind.

Government officials and border activists say the garbage dumped in the desert by illegal immigrants and their smugglers is staggering.

And the cleanup is costing taxpayers millions.

I've seen far worse trash piles from full-blown American citizens. This is a non-story. Way to report the news, Fox! Keep up the good work.

I thought it was a legit story. Here you have illegal aliens coming into our country and turning the deserts in the southwest United States into a landfill, and it's costing the taxpayers millions to clean it up. I believe all news organizations should report info like this to the general public. I would rather for them to report about this than report about some celebrity entering rehab for the twentieth time.
