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.

Going Postal

(Fox News) - A post office in Paso Robles, California has taken down pictures of local military personnel serving in Iraq and Afghanistan — after a complaint by one person that the display is pro-war.

Media reports indicate the photos had been up for several years. But after the complaint, postal officials said the pictures violate policy against non-postal business material. Residents are outraged — complaining to the post office and their congressman. Republican Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield says he is trying to get the pictures put back up, even if it means changing federal postal regulations.
