Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Glenn Beck Says He Might Be Going Blind

(The Blast) - This past Saturday during Glenn Beck’s final “American Revival” stop in Salt Lake City, he told those in attendance that he might be going blind.

“I can’t focus my eyes”, Beck said during his keynote speech. While taking a jab at health care reform he continued, “I went to the best doctor I could find, while I could still go to the best doctor I can find.”

Beck said that he’s been diagnosed with macular dystrophy and said that his doctor had told him he could go blind within the next year.

“You could go blind in the next year . . . or you might not.”
