William Kristol: Latest victim of the global pastry uprising! Indiana Pastry Partisans 30 Mar 2005 16:53 GMT Videos and text at: http://newswire.indymedia.org/en/newswire/2005/03/821394.shtml Neo-Con pundit William Kristol was creamed with a Pie last night while speaking at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. William Kristol, founder of the Project for a New American Century (a leading neo-con think tank) and a key figure in American foreign policy for over 20 years, was hit by what appeared to be a cream pie tonight in Richmond, Indiana. Throughout his speech, given at Earlham College, he defended the "Bush doctrine" of pre-emptive war and state terror and was in the process of comparing current policy challenges to those of the early Cold War when a young man calmly lifted himself onto the stage and quickly walked to the podium, splattering a delicious dish all over the speaker as well as the college's president (collateral damage, perhaps?). Unfortunately, after a period of shock, many people in the audience stood and clapped to show support for Kristol (for a total of three standing ovations), including many self-professed peace activists and liberals who were afraid that this succulently sweet action would discredit Earlham College. They apparently forgot, perhaps due to his liability as a speaker, of Kristol's central role in the Reagan and Bush I administrations, his long efforts as a Harvard-trained political scientist to provide the intellectual justification for the Bush agenda of foreign intervention, and his current place as an architect of a war in Iraq which has claimed tens of thousands of innocent lives. There has been an escalating hysteria among some sectors of Earlham College, which is supposedly dedicated to pacifist and Quaker values, demanding a range of responses from expulsion (if the confectionary offender proves to be a student) to the pressing of criminal charges against the as-yet-unidentified revolutionary baker. We will post more updates in the next days. Please be ready to support this bold pie-slinger. contact: indiana_pastries@hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Beauty treatment" The Washington Times, March 7, 2005 Monday Vogue editor Anna Wintour got a face full of dessert Saturday at the Paris fashion shows, when an animal-rights protester hit her with a tofu pie. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is at odds with Miss Wintour's support for the fur industry, claimed responsibility for the incident. Miss Wintour was not hurt by the attack and reportedly joked that tofu may be good for the skin. Vogue magazine declined to comment. www.furisdead.com @@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ "Never doubt that a small and dedicated group of people with pies can change the world.
