Welcome to Bully Pulpit!

Bully Pulpit examines politics, society and culture through interviews and commentary, with all of the Bobospherics you’ve come to expect. Plus, it has a catchy jingle and guaranteed there there. In pretty much every medium for 44 years, my work has always been about something beyond the particulars at hand, and has always had a beginning, middle and end. But I don’t much like the label opinion — because opinions are like assholes and good arguments are like ships-in-a-bottle. Not everybody can make one.
