2005: The Pieing of Conservative Speaker William Kristol at Earlham College

I remember receiving a letter from Doug Bennett, the president of Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana soon after this sad event.

Toothdigger's Patron Saint

St. Agapius

Feastday: November 20 & August 19

Martyr and valiant defender of the faith. A Christian in Caesarea, Palestine, Agapius was taken prisoner in the persecutions of Emperor Diocletian. Three times he suffered imprisonment for the faith, released after enduring torture each time. Arrested a fourth, he was offered a pardon if he denied Christ. When he refused, he was penned up with a wild boar. The animal inflicted severe damage on him but did not kill him, so officials drowned him the next day (a stone was tied to his ankle, and he was thrown overboard into the sea.)
