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.

From Daniel Allott in today's The American Spectator:

Postpartum depression, a psychological illness caused by hormonal shifts occurring after childbirth that can lead to reactions ranging from irritability to sadness to despair, is an issue that's garnered a lot of media attention of late. Brooke Shields' battle with the disease, chronicled in her best-selling book Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression, has helped bring about an improved discussion of this previously taboo phenomenon.
