The 2001 "Make the Pie Higher" strip
The Richard's Poor Almanac cartoon published the week of George W. Bush's first inauguration was Thompson's mock inaugural poem, "Make the Pie Higher", composed of some of Bush's more incoherent quotations. When "Make the Pie Higher" was shared on the Internet, it spread rapidly and was eventually dissected and analyzed on Snopes, which published a lengthy review of its origins.[1] The poem has been set to music multiple times in various styles, including Irish and choral music.[2]
