A CITY COUNCIL IN IOWA JUST OPENED ITS MEETING WITH A PRAYER TO SATAN, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I EVEN HAVE TO TYPE THAT. The invocation at the Ottumwa city council meeting reportedly ended with the words "Hail Satan." This is a small town in the heartland, not some coastal college campus. When a community starts letting the devil lead off its public meetings, something has gone badly wrong with the people running the show. Ottumwa residents deserve answers about how this got on the agenda and who signed off on it. Pray for that town today, because they clearly need it more than ever
