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.

Make Me Go to Rehab

(Fox News) - A Toronto mosque is offering a detox program for young Islamic radicals who are sympathetic to Al Qaeda.

Specialized De-radicalization Intervention team member Muhammed Heft says the program is based on the idea that Islamic extremism can be fought by incorporating traditional teaching of the Koran into what is called a "12-Step Extremist Detox Program."

Canadian Television reports one of those steps is "finding common ground, 'not fighting ground,' with other faiths." Another involves "actively countering extremist ideology through 'education, public speaking, and writing.'"
