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.

Critical Backlash?

(Fox News) - A new stage comedy "Jihad: The Musical," premiered this week in Edinburgh, Scotland — but some critics aren't singing its praises.

The play is described as "a madcap gallop through the wacky world of international terrorism," and features songs such as "I Wanna Be Like Osama."

The show launched just as one government adviser told Scotland Yard that as many as 1 in 11 British Muslims agree with and proactively support terrorism.
