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.

Sesame Street helps army children

I wonder if Starling and I will soon see this episode during PBS's weekday airings of Sesame Street?

From the BBC:

US children's TV show Sesame Street is to be used to help American military families explain why a parent has to leave to serve overseas. A DVD featuring popular character Elmo and his parents who are preparing for Elmo's dad to be deployed, will be handed out for free in August.
