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.

2 cafeteria workers at Stanly County high school accused of trying to poison boss

ALBEMARLE, NC (AP) — Authorities say two North Carolina high school cafeteria employees have been arrested and accused of trying to poison their boss' tea.

The Stanly County Sheriff's Office says 38-year-old Angela Johnson and 64-year-old Eileen Hallamore were charged Tuesday with distributing food containing poison.

Authorities say their investigation started last month after the county board of education reported a poisoning attempt at South Stanly High School in Norwood.

No students were involved. Deputies have not said how the poisoning was discovered or what may have motivated the women.

It was not clear if the women have attorneys. They are due in court April 25.
