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.

Sticky Fingers

(Fox News) - Environmental activists in Poland called the authorities after discovering an illegal logging site in a nature reserve.

The Austrian Times reports the activists found 20 neatly stacked tree trunks and others marked for felling in the northern part of the country. But when police arrived they followed a trail where one tree had been dragged away, which led them directly to a beaver dam.

A Polish police spokesman said, "The campaigners are feeling pretty stupid. There’s nothing more natural than a beaver."
