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.

N.C. on brisk pace

From the Winston-Salem Journal:

North Carolina's population is on pace to swell 40 percent by 2030, bringing the number of residents to 12.2 million, the U.S. Census Bureau said today.

If the prediction comes true, North Carolina will have a population density of 251 people per square mile, about the same as Illinois now. North Carolina will rank seventh among the states in population in 2030, and will have passed Georgia, New Jersey, Michigan and Ohio along the way.
