Bully Pulpit

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

Dirty Tricks?

(Fox News) - The liberal group Iraq Veterans Against the War has launched a campaign to hamper military recruiting.

The group's Web site features this page encouraging members to help end the war by monopolizing the time of as many recruiters as possible. It says — "By flooding recruiters and recruitment centers with phone calls, appointments, questions and smiling faces, recruiters will waste their time and resources on you."

The posting encourages members not to sign any papers, and to share pictures and stories of their dilatory tactics on the Web site.
