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.

RE: Re: Letters to the Editor

Steve said: I guess it's pretty much a sure thing, now. Ron Carroll is going to run for Commissioner. Stokes County won't be fit to live in if he gets elected.

Whoa! Talk about dramatic. I don't even hear that kind of sentiment from Stokes County Democrats regarding their current county government (I know a few Stokes Democrats, BTW...)

On the other hand, I hope he runs and gets elected.

Hey — maybe you can do some campaigning for him!

I'll have a letter to the editor in the Stokes County fishwrap every week.

This new editorial presence in the Stokes News isn't going to distract you from the BP, is it? I hope not. And I thought you said that no one reads the 'fishwrap' anyway. What's your point in doing all that writing? It wouldn't be due to a personal vendetta, would it?
