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: King's Sprawl

Strother opines: "No offense to anybody, but I don't recall anything too incredibly special about King."

I thought the same thing when I read that editorial this afternoon... When I think of King, I think of fast food, Buster Robertson and the Econo Lodge.

Fact is — in Stokes County — the northern side of the county is where it's at. Maybe I'm biased, but I really don't think so. It's the most beautiful with more rolling hills, and incredibly well preserved by many of its long-term owners.

To be more specific, I say the northwestern side of the county is where it's at, especially the Collinstown area. :-)
