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.

Village Vandalism

(Fox News) - Police, the FBI and local security at George Washington University have spent the last couple of weeks trying to learn who has been painting swastikas around the Washington D.C. campus. Several of the symbols were reported by Jewish freshman student Sarah Marshak — and the incidents were investigated as possible hate crimes.

Now media reports say hidden camera video has implicated Marshak. After initially denying it — she later admitted drawing at least three of six swastikas on her door.

Marshak says she did that — in order to highlight what she characterized as the school's inaction over her original complaint. She could face federal and local charges as well as discipline from the school.
