Title A name given to the resource TomPaine.com Stories Description An account of the resource TomPaine.com -- a liberal advocacy organization -- distributed a public call on August 12, 2002 for 300 word "opinion advertisement" similar to those that the organization had been running regularly in the op-ed page of The New York Times. TomPaine.com received hundreds of submissions from the public, most of which the September 11 Digital Archive has preserved here. TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story POEM: The Bully Pulpit Before the Twin Towers, the USA thought it was number one and acted like it. Kid bullied kid in school till the bullied shot back. The governor of Texas did the same, joking with a fellow frat boy about executing Carla Fay: ""Please don't kill me!"" Republicans that sat on the Supreme court liked this kid's way with people and appointed him president. They admired his dad for going around the world to beat up another bully, and since Dad inspired Moslems to hate us by crapping on the seat of Allah's holiness, starving and poisoning a bunch of babies and leaving the bully in power, they anointed his popular but out-to-lunch boy to tell the world ""So What!"" One day some crazed Moslems flew Columbine-style into the pillars of wealth, popularity and power. Stunned at the brutality of this vile act, the boy and his dad's friends, for parity, went after the bully responsible but missed him and killed a bunch of women and kids instead. These days, nothing much has changed. The gist of it is, haves still wonder what they said or did to make the have nots go nuts. Nerd and pariah are at their computers making plans. To expect thought or compassion would be absurd. So God bless all the bullies and their fans.
