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.

Maintenance Issues

(Fox News) - The people who run Nepal's state-owned airline came up with a unique way to deal with technical problems on one of their 757 jets: They sacrificed two goats to the Hindu sky god Akash Bhairab.

The goats were killed in front of the plane Sunday at the Katmandu airport in accordance with Hindu traditions. The airline never said what the problems were, nor what was done to fix them. An official merely announced that the plane had been repaired and had resumed flights.
