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.

Kicked Off the Council?

Fox News

Iranian President Ahmadinejad says the U.S. and Great Britain should be thrown off the U.N. Security Council for supporting Israel. The Iranian leader blames the two countries for civilian deaths in Lebanon, saying, "They are not competent to be members of the Security Council... they are criminals and should be put on trial."

But Ahmadinejad wasn't finished. He accused Israeli troops of being part of a Western plan to re-colonize the Middle East, calling the soldiers, "worse than beasts," and "bloodthirsty savages."
