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.

Reverse Discrimination?

Fox News

Ever wonder what might happen if homosexuals were a majority, not a minority? Heterosexuals in the overwhelmingly gay resort town of Provincetown, Massachusetts, have found out, and they say they're being discriminated against by residents of what's often called the "unofficial gay capital of New England."

The controversy erupted when a Web site published the names of 43 townspeople who signed a petition supporting a ban on gay marriage. Since then, police have responded to a shouting match between a straight woman who signed the petition and a gay man, who angrily called her a bigot and heterosexual tourists have complained about being derisively called "breeders" by gay residents.
