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.

Funny Money

(Fox News) - Federal records indicate Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has received about $30,000 from devotees of a man who was run out of Arkansas when Bill Clinton was governor after being accused of operating a $30 million pyramid scheme.

The New York Post reports Keith Raniere has reinvented himself as head of an executive training company called NXIVM located in Albany, New York. Raniere's group includes many high-profile individuals, including heiresses to the Seagram Company. Their father calls Raniere's group a cult.

The Clinton campaign has not commented directly on Raniere or his organization. A newspaper in Albany reports Raniere's followers have also given around $30,000 to the state Republican senate campaign committee and provided a similar amount in air transportation.
