Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Mad Men Make More $

(Fox News) - A new study on women in the workplace finds that men who get angry at work are admired — but angry women are likely to be seen as "out of control" and incompetent.

Yale scholar Victoria Brescoll says a group of observers asked to watch a series of job interviews would offer angry men higher than average salaries, while angry women were penalized.

Brescoll says the study was inspired by Republican descriptions of Hillary Clinton as "too angry to be elected President," writing — "as Senator Clinton's experience suggests, for a professional woman anger expression may lead to a decrease rather than an increase in her status."
