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.

Indelible Mark

(Fox News) - Leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has launched another campaign to keep himself in power indefinitely. Last year Venezuelans rejected a constitutional reform referendum that would have ended the country's two-term limit. Well, Chavez has not been slowed down by that vote at all. Monday he told cheering supporters:

"Today, we begin the battle for the constitutional amendment. If we are going to do it, let's do it quickly. If we are going to do it, there's no tomorrow...Chavez is here to stay."

He said the proposed amendment should be ready sometime in February, so, his effort to retain power rolls on.
