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

Conover Domino's closes in wake of gross-out video

HICKORY (By Ragan Robinson, Hickory Daily Record) - The notorious gross-out videos made by two Domino's Pizza workers and posted on YouTube cost the store more than half its profits, the store's owner says.

The store closed Sept. 22.

"My business was off 58 percent because of YouTube," said Kevin Hendren, the franchise owner.

He was at the darkened pizza shop in Conover on Monday and said he will not reopen it.

Hendren declined to say whether he has plans for the building.

"I'm just living day to day right now," he said.
