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.

Blame Game

Fox News

Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is blaming her recent defeat in a Democratic run-off on the media and electronic voting machines, which she urged the black community to oppose because she says they're designed to steal elections.

In her first public appearance since losing to challenger Hank Johnson, McKinney also said she considers herself a "black political paramedic" saying, "The black body politic is near comatose."

McKinney was given a standing ovation before and after her remarks, but refused to answer questions from reporters.
