...homage to the souls of the faithful departed - the dead who've gone to heaven. (Nov. 2 is All Souls' Day, dedicated to the dead in Purgatory, doing time while their sins are cleansed.) It is not, as Satan proclaimed on South Park last week, a day for the devil. It's the day for those with the moral strength to reject the devil's seductions and escape eternal damnation. Nor is Halloween, in its religious sense, a time for witches, bats and rats, or eight-year-old girls dolled up in whorehouse chic. Invoking ghosts, maybe. Beelzebub and Britney...
...find it ironic that the U.S. made such a fuss over Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez's speech at the U.N. General Assembly, in which he called President George W. Bush the devil [Oct. 2].

...most densely populated in the country. Sundance, Wyo., sounds like a merry place, but it was named for a Lakota Indian festival in which young warriors cut off pieces of their flesh and then danced in a test of strength. You wonder who moves to Helltown, Devil's Den, Weedpatch (all in California); Boring, Ore.; Elephant Butte, N.M.; West Thumb, Wyo.; Trickem, Ala.; Possum Trot, Ky.; or Lonelyville, N.Y. But they are all probably close to someone's idea of paradise...
