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.

Growth Plan

(Fox News) - We all know about President Bush's stimulus package to pump up the U.S. economy.

But now, the mayor of Lo Prado, Chile, has another kind of stimulus in mind to pump up some of his older voters. The BBC reports Mayor Gonzalo Navarette Munoz is going to distribute free Viagra to men 60 years of age and older. The mayor — who is also a doctor — says he was inspired by complaints from older men about their poor sex lives.

The cost of the program is about $20,000 for the first year, and the mayor says his office will pick up the tab. Critics say it's just a ploy to get the mayor reelected.
