Plague of Demons

Once upon a time, being possessed by demons was an acceptable psychiatric condition. It isn’t used anymore; it is not mentioned in the DSM IV. Even the few cases I have encountered of people insisting they are possessed by the devil were poo-pooed even by the priests. These sorts first go to church, where they are told to see a psychiatrist right away.
Rather than exorcism they get Risperdal, which is less glamorous and causes tremors and weight gain.
I’ve been thinking a lot about demons. I imagine there’s a rather large flock of them over Arizona, causing red state people to do foolish things, politicians to be stupid, and inspire AM talk show hosts. Mostly these demons interrupt life and make things generally difficult. Road rage, political splitting, and crazy drug/gun laws– these are all the labors of demons.
Demons like cell phones, and encourage their use everywhere and anywhere to further contribute to the Kingdom of Noise.
People who dismiss the concept of demonic interference are either blessed or not paying attention. There is a sniff of sulphur in the bad air over Phoenix. Even as I write this blog the Father of Lies has sent a demon to torment Tiberius the cat into fits of vomiting onto the newly cleaned floor.
I am going to have a word with St. Michael, my patron saint, to guard us against all wickedness and snares of the devil.

For you scoffers, I say beware and watch your cell phones.
