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.

Richard Jewell found dead in home

Olympic security guard suspected but cleared in bombing

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) -
Richard Jewell, the Centennial Olympic Park security guard once suspected — but later cleared — in the bombing of the park during the 1996 Summer Games, was found dead Wednesday in his home in Meriwether County. He was 44.

County coroner Johnny Worley said Jewell's wife discovered him dead in their Woodbury home at about 10:30 a.m., and he was pronounced dead by Worley about 45 minutes later.

It sure wasn't the medias finest moment. More than ever when the people need a watchdog over the government our media shows both its incompetence and excessive concern with trivia. The Richard Jewell story is an example of the media's rush to judgment in the interest of a buck. This is sad and frightening.
