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.

Gas Shenanigans

By Tammy Bruce

President Bush read a statement (yesterday) outlining the need and importance of offshore and ANWR drilling, and establishing new refineries.

This is great news and he was right on every single point, yet there are still some extraordinary shenanigans surrounding how we handle our existing supplies, both imported and domestic.

For that perfect “Behind the Looking Glass” feeling, here’s a bit of news the president didn’t mention: With a rising unemployment rate and college students entering the market for the summer and beyond, it’s not enough to keep our borders open so we can remain Mexico’s employment agency. We are now making sure Mexican citizens have plenty of cheap gasoline so they can drive on up here to take the jobs American citizens would take if they could get them, or at least afford to drive to.
