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.

Steve and RT Miller Agree

I thought this was worth re-posting on the main board. This is a comment from RT Miller in response to Steve's 'RE: Plan To Move Students Upsets Stokes County Parents':

RT Miller said...
All this proves is that the Stokes School Board (which is 80% Republican) has mostly incompetent members. It looks much more like a conspiracy against North Stokes and northern Stokes County residents than it does anything else. The only students who this might potentially effect negatively are from North Stokes, & we all know that anything north of Hanging Rock is unimportant to almost everyone from King or Walnut Cove.
I agree with Steve here, what does lack of funding for building new schools have to do with an already exisitng facility? (Rumor has it that the school board is going to move their offices to the Meadowbrook facility.)
However, I fail to see the connection of an elaborate conspiracy here to oust the Turpins. The Turpin Bros. ousting has been a long time coming, regardless of this issue.
