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.

Wednesday Funnies :-)

Jay Leno:

[It's] April 15th [and] taxes are due, but people who work for President Obama are busy doing their taxes for 1998, '99, 2000.

[A]ccording to a survey on how Americans will spend their tax returns, 48 percent say they'll pay debts, 39 percent will save it, 27 percent will use it for everyday expenses, 11 percent will make a major purchase, and another 11 percent will use it for vacation. OK, that adds up to 136 percent. OK, there's the problem right there!

Last night I had a new drink: the Navy Seals shot. It's three shots and boom! You're done.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the Somali pirates were all untrained teenagers with heavy weapons -- which we call rap stars in this country.
