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.

Independent Investigation?

(Fox News) - An award-winning forensic scientist with the Michigan State Police has been fired for running a DNA test on her husband's underwear in order to find out if he had been having an affair. The test said he was — he said he wasn't — and the whole story came out in divorce proceedings.

Chamberlain said she ran the test on her own time and used chemicals that were set to be thrown away. But her ex-husband's lawyer calls Chamberlain "a dangerous woman" and wants her criminally prosecuted.
