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.

Call Off the Dogs

(Fox News) - An annual sled dog race in Frazee, Minnesota has been canceled. It’s been called off twice before because of a lack of snow. But this time, the race has been abandoned because there is too much snow.

There are reports of record snowfall from across the country this winter — a blow to global warming theorists. And Frazee is no different. Organizers say there is so much snow that they cannot prepare the tracks. The cancellation is a blow to the town since the event attracted up to 3,000 visitors last year.
