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

The Rainmaker

(Fox News) - Best-selling author John Grisham is sounding off about the president, his administration and the war. Grisham is hosting an event for Hillary Clinton Sunday near his Virginia home.

He tells the Des Moines register, "The war is an immoral abomination that we'll pay for for decades to come. We're paying for it now at the rate of 100 kids a month while Bush plays politics with it."

And, of the president and his administration, "I've always thought that they were bad people with evil intent... I can't stand those people and their incompetence is astounding."
