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.

Double Standard?

Fox News

An Al Qaeda-linked extremist group is threatening the pope and the non-Muslim world with the very thing the pope is in trouble for criticizing last week: conversion by force.

The Mujahedeen Shura Council — which includes Al Qaeda in Iraq — says: "You and the West are doomed as you can see from the defeat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere. We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose head tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion or the sword."
