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

Miner Yonni Barrios Emerges from Shaft, Greeted by His Mistress

Barrios' Wife Did Not Welcome Miner

(By EMILY FRIEDMAN, ABC News) - Chilean miner Yonni Barrios emerged [yesterday] afternoon from the underground shaft where he had been trapped for months and straight into the arms of his mistress, not those of his wife of 28 years.

His wife had said she would not attend his rescue after discovering that Barrios had been cheating on her with a lover for years.

When Barrios stepped out of the mineshaft, Susana Valenzuela was there to greet him emotionally, kissing him and hugging him while she sobbed. Barrios stood stoically but did not appear to be overly affectionate in return.
