Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Conspiracy 101

Fox News

From the wonderful world of education: Democratic Gov. John Lynch is blasting a tenured professor at the University of New Hampshire for telling his students that the U.S. government planned and executed the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Lynch called psychology professor William Woodward's beliefs "completely crazy and offensive" and questioned why he's allowed to teach.

But the New Hampshire Union Leader reports the school's president is standing behind the professor, who is part of the conspiracy group Scholars for 9/11 Truth, as well as several anti-war organizations.

Woodward, meanwhile, says he hopes to teach a new class that would explore Sept. 11 in psychological terms.
