On the old M.A.S.H. television sitcom, Radar O'Reilly exemplified a military mind-set when he referred to an exorcism performed by a local Korean as removing "unauthorized" spirits. We laugh at Radar's absurd assuming spiritual matters follow a military chain of command. 2/7 2:00 PM

THE CONTINUING SAGA OF HOUSE BILL 110
Another new year is upon us. And we all know what that means: political fun and games in Juneau.
