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.

Family Feud

(Fox News) - Two sons of the late Texas Governor Ann Richards are upset with the Hillary Clinton campaign over an Internet video commercial suggesting Richards would have supported Clinton. The campaign says it has permission from Richards' youngest daughter — who says that her mother would be working for Clinton if she were alive.

But sons Dan and Clark Richards say no one can know whom their mother would have supported. They twice denied their permission but the campaign released the ad anyway. A former aide to Governor Richards who is working with the Clinton campaign says after the sons objected — a family photo was removed from the video. She says — "we're not saying we speak for the family."
