Earling played host to the devil
in 1928; an exorcism evicted him
By Erin Randolph
 Demonic
possession. Is it real? The Catholic
Church would have you believe
that it is. It would have you
believe that a 40-year-old woman
from Milwaukee was possessed by
the devil, and that she was brought
to Earling, a southwest Iowa town,
in order to be exorcised, the
process of evicting demons from
a person or object. It would have
you believe that this woman could
climb walls, speak in foreign
tongues and spew forth obscene
amounts of foul-smelling gunk.

More ideas to save money and
stay warm this winter
We've been forewarned that the cruel
winter staring us down will be even
crueler because Mid-American Energy
is planning on legally raping each and
every one of us when it comes to providing
us that pesky creature comfort: heat.
Like everything else, it's Katrina's
fault - or at least that's their excuse.

Skinny: Boswell urged to quit |
|
But you can't kick an
old, sick man
As Cityview reported first, the
condition of Leonard Boswell is
much worse than his staffers have
let on, following 13 hours of
what a top state Democrat called
"major invasive life-threatening
surgery." What exactly the
procedure entailed is unknown,
but rumors persist that an organ
or organs were removed, and Boswell,
who has lost some 50 pounds, has
been forced to change his lifestyle
significantly due to ramifications
of the surgery. Complicating matters
further is the fact that Boswell's
wife, Dody, is said to not be
well either. "He is being
urged to go back to the farm,"
our source said. "He's 71
and not doing well. Like anything,

 Late
in the 20th century, the art of sandwich
making entered the Dark Ages. First
we lost many small-town lockers and
butchers, along with their old recipes
for preserving meats. Nationally branded
products cornered the market, first
in grocery stores, then in so-called
delis. Finally, the food police convinced
Big Ag that a paranoid public wanted
their lunchmeat tweaked in reaction
to the latest findings of nutritional

Sounds : The real deal |

 Honky-tonk
hero Billy Joe Shaver's songs
reflect his wild side and gut-wrenching
tales of heartbreak
The title of Billy Joe Shaver's
new album, "The Real Deal,"
is a statement of the obvious
to those familiar with the country
music outlaw, though sadly, many
are not. Like his poetically blunt
songs, his life is full of heartbreak
and drama. And though he hasn't
enjoyed mainstream success like
the big-name artists who have
recorded his songs, it appears
as though the 66-year-old Shaver
who walked on the wild side and
lived to tell about it in songs
like "Georgia On A Fast Train,"
"Old Five and Dimers Like
Me" and "Live Forever"
is getting some overdue praise.
