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.

Hanging Around

(Fox News) - A woman in Chicopee, Massachusetts was driving down the street recently when she noticed a witch hanging from a noose. To most people it would be an innocent Halloween decoration.

But a local TV station reports the ironically-named Kelly Lynch found it offensive. In fact she was so offended she is telling people it is a hate crime against her religion — because Ms. Lynch is in fact a witch.

"We are just like Christians, Muslims," she says. "We have our own religion." Lynch asked the owner of the decoration to take it down — and he refused. She says if the owner does not comply soon — she will protest outside his home.
