Not to change the subject, but - I saw on one of the cable channels that one of the new shows this year was going to be reality Exorcisms. Seriously. And they had a LUtheran minister and some other religious guy and I guess the producer (or exorcist) arguing about this as a valid premise for a show. And we wonder why Palin and her casting out of witchcraft didn't raise any hairs? The Rev. Bob Larson has been circling the globe for decades, battling Satan and his minions with a Bible and a cross. Now you can watch him cast out demons from the comfort of your couch. Mr. Larson, who was in Toledo earlier this month to lead one of his Spiritual Freedom Seminars, is joining the ranks of such luminaries as Ozzy Osbourne, Gene Simmons, and Jessica Simpson as the star of his own reality TV show. The Real Exorcist premieres in a four-hour marathon on the Sci-Fi Channel on Thursday night - not coincidentally, it's Halloween eve. Mr. Larson admits it's an unusual combination of spirituality and entertainment, saying he can envision fans "throwing house parties with pizza and popcorn" while they watch him command demons to depart from tormented souls. But he also sees it as an opportunity to show the world that evil spirits and demonic possession are real, and that people who are suffering can get help, he said in an interview with The Blade.
