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.

Standing By Their Man

(Fox News) - Some supporters of Sen. Larry Craig are plenty mad — not at him — but at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. The American Land Rights Association is calling for a boycott of the airport — where a police officer arrested Craig and accused him of soliciting sex in a restroom.

The land rights group says that police are responsible for weakening private property rights in the west by going after Craig — who is a member of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee and has supported their cause in Congress.

The group is calling for the airport to apologize for what it calls "ambushing" the senator.
