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

(Fox News) - Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination is wearing thin with the folks back home.

Dodd has moved his family to Iowa — the site of the first caucuses — and has enrolled his oldest daughter in kindergarten in Des Moines.
