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.

Remembering Elvis Presley's Career Highs and Lows


January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977

To celebrate Elvis' 75th birthday, take a look back at the king of rock and roll's best and worst moments

(By Shawn Amos, FOXNews.com) - To celebrate Elvis' 75th birthday, take a look back at the king of rock and roll's best and worst moments

Elvis Presley may have died, but you wouldn't know it from the birthday party he's getting.

His tombstone at Graceland reads, "January 8,1935 - August 16, 1977," which means today would have been Elvis' 75th birthday.

His 2010 "75th Anniversary Tour" includes a Graceland blowout with Lisa Marie and Priscilla cutting his birthday cake on the North Lawn. Then this weekend, the party spills onto Beale Street and the rest of Memphis so that, according to the official Elvis birthday press release, "fans from around the world [can] celebrate Elvis' birthday [with] Elvis- themed entertainment, drink specials and more."
