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.

Your phone records are for sale

The Chicago Police Department is warning officers their cell phone records are available to anyone -- for a price. Dozens of online services are selling lists of cell phone calls, raising security concerns among law enforcement and privacy experts.

This is completely illegal, of course, but since Chucky "Gubmint Is Yer Friend" Schumer is involved, I expect we'll see several new federal laws that will further burden the over-regulated communications industry and drive the cost of cell service up. I happen to know a little about this and there are already ample applicable federal and state laws. Schumer, as usual, is full of crap. Pretexting is fraud and it is illegal, regardless of what one is pretexting.
