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.

20 Years Ago

Shuttle loss a rude awakening for NASA

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

Twenty years ago, space shuttle Challenger blew apart into jets of fire and plumes of smoke, a terrifying sight witnessed by the families of the seven astronauts and onlookers who came to watch the historic launch of the first teacher in space.

I was in 6th grade when Challenger blew up... It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since it happened.
