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.

Cold Cash

(Fox News) - There are new details emerging about that $90,000 the FBI says was found in the freezer of Louisiana Democratic Congressman William Jefferson. Documents released late last week indicate that agents found $20,000 wrapped in foil and rubber bands inside a box from a company that makes soybean burgers. Another $20,000 was stashed inside a Pillsbury pie crust box. Three stacks of $10,000 were hidden in a bag from a local Yes Organic Market. And two other $10,000 bricks were just wrapped in foil.

Jefferson is facing federal bribery, racketeering, fraud and obstruction charges. He has pleaded innocent and faces trial early next year.
