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.

TV Critic

(Fox News) - A judge in Butler County, Kentucky is telling jurors they cannot watch any of the "CSI" or "Law and Order" shows while involved in a case. Common Pleas judge Patricia Oney says the programs can create unrealistic expectations for jurors about what can and cannot be done with evidence.

Judges and lawyers have been dealing with what's called "CSI Blowback" for nearly a decade. One assistant prosecutor tells a Kentucky newspaper that "CSI" is to forensics what "Star Trek" is to space travel.
