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.

Missing in Action

(Fox News) - Officials in Denmark are looking for 15 homeless people who came to Copenhagen for The Homeless World Cup soccer tournament — and then decided they wanted to make their home — someplace new.

The 15 left their individual country delegations and disappeared, overstaying their visas and going underground. The players are from several African nations and Afghanistan.

The tournament featured 500 homeless people from 48 countries and ended Saturday. One of the event organizers said they've never had mass defections before.
