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.

Mechanical failure, fire ruled out in crash

Witnesses said plane flew erratically after takeoff

MOUNT AIRY (Winston-Salem Journal) -
Investigators have ruled out mechanical failures and fire as causes of the plane crash that killed six men two weeks ago, according to a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board.

On Feb. 1, a twin-engine King Air C90A crashed in a residential area about a half-mile from the Mount Airy/Surry County Airport.

The plane was loaded with guns and hunting supplies for a trip that six men, including the pilot, had planned to Primland, a hunting and golf resort about 25 miles away in Patrick County, Va.
