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

Money Crunch

(Fox News) - The liberal political action committee America Coming Together has been fined $775,000 for donating unregulated cash to Democratic candidates during the 2004 elections. The group's major donors include billionaire George Soros. Its leaders agreed to the fine without admitting any wrongdoing.

America Coming Together raised $137 million for voter registration efforts in 17 states. But the Federal Election Commission says most of that money came from donations that violated federal limits or broke other rules. The organization has been dormant since shortly after the 2004 elections and is in the process of shutting down.
