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:

[Did] you see that video online of the wind knocking down Joe Biden's teleprompter at the Air Force graduation? See, that's when you know you're talking to too much -- when even Mother Nature goes, "Shut up. Okay? Just shut up."

At a fundraiser in Beverly Hills, people paid $30,000 to attend a dinner and a discussion with President Barack Obama. The subject of the discussion? The struggling economy.

[There was] one awkward moment -- as Obama was entering the Beverly Hilton, he bumped into John Edwards, who was sneaking out.

President Obama was here in Los Angeles [last] week to bring his message of change to Hollywood. And, really, is there any place in America that loves change more than Hollywood? The place that brought you four "Terminator" sequels, 10 "Police Academy" movies and 29 "Star Trek" films. This town runs on new and innovative ideas.
