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

David Letterman To Charles Barkley: “Do You Know Anything About College Basketball?”

(By Glenn Davis, SportsGrid) - Note to Charles Barkley: if you at any point encounter an older man who has or once had a CBS affiliation, prepare to have your college basketball knowledge questioned. We know Billy Packer’s skeptical, and last night while appearing on 'Late Show with David Letterman', Barkley faced a similar line of questioning from the iconic late-night host.

Unlike with Packer, however, Barkley laughed it off when Letterman posed the question, “Do you know anything about college basketball?” Barkley also had a simple response to the doubters – “Basketball’s basketball” – and repeated once again that knowing every player’s name isn’t important for his job (not to mention doesn’t prove whether or not one knows anything about basketball).
