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.

Pork Project

(Fox News) - And some Muslims in the Coton Park section of Derbyshire, England are opposing plans for the construction of a pet food factory — over fears that pork products will be incinerated and "rain down" on them from above. The Daily Mail reports Muslim residents also contend they will be able to smell the pork from their homes.

The Environmental Health Agency is investigating the potential effects of the plant. But the pet food company says there is "an almost 99-percent guarantee" that the pork smell will not reach the area where the Muslims live. And they say that pork remnants cannot "rain down" on the group — because the plant will not burn any animal materials.
