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.

Sting Operation

(Fox News) - Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles is threatening to sue a student pro-life activist who recorded an abortion clinic worker advising her to lie about her age so she could avoid reporting a statutory rape and obtain an abortion.

Lifenews.com reports the student posed as a 15-year-old, pregnant by her 23-year-old boyfriend. She recorded a nurse practitioner and counselor at the UCLA health center telling her to "figure out a birth date that works" — and told her how to get the state to pay for the abortion.

Cybercast News reports Planned Parenthood is now demanding the girl turn over the video and stop her undercover investigation — which was for a student-run newspaper.
