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

Into the Fire

(Fox News) - For the second time this spring, Cindy McCain, wife of Republican presidential candidate John McCain, is being accused of passing off someone else's recipe as her own. The campaign contributed a recipe to Parents Magazine for her oatmeal butterscotch cookies.

However, it appears the recipe was copied from the Hershey's Web site. The ingredients and amounts are virtually the same, except McCain’s recipe calls for an unspecified brand of butterscotch chips, while the Hershey recipe calls specifically for Hershey's butterscotch chips.

In April, the McCain campaign was caught copying some recipes from the Food Network Web site and passing them off as Cindy McCain's. Officials blamed that mistake on an intern.
