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.

Pretty in Pink

Fox News

And ... the Mason County, Texas jail is small — so small it has room for only five people. So to discourage repeat offenders, Sheriff Clint Low makes inmates wear pink jumpsuits and slippers, and sit in pink cells with pink bars. Prisoners often sit inside their cells rather than go outside and be seen in this small town of 3,800.

Sheriff Low says the incidence of repeat offenders is down 70 percent since he switched to pink jumpsuits — and there have been NO fights between inmates since the jail was painted pink.
