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.

Livid Librarian

(Fox News) - A former librarian at Ohio State University says he wants his old job back, and wants the university to change its sexual harassment policies.

Scott Savage says he got into hot water with colleagues while serving on a committee to recommend books for incoming freshman. He said the books under consideration were too liberal, so he suggested "The Marketing of Evil" by David Kupelian, which is subtitled "How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised As Freedom."

Two professors filed a sexual harassment claim against him, charging that the book was homophobic. The complaint went nowhere, but the Columbus Dispatch reports that Savage says he continued to be harassed anyway. Ohio State had no comment.
