  We taped The Book of Daniel and watched it over the weekend. We willfully and maliciously fast-forwarded through the commercials while we laughed ourselves silly in defiance of Big Media. Sorry, I digress. 169 words.

  The AFA makes me sick. They have an electronic petition to send emails to NBC about The Book of Daniel. They’ve done all the work, so all you have to do is click a button and bam-o NBC gets a nicely worded email written by the AFA, and they can claim billions of people oppose the show. 142 words.
• An Open Letter to AFA Chairman Donald E. Wildmon. 2006-01-25 1:52 PM.

  Just for the record, here was the AFA’s response, if you can call it that, to my letter. Note the smug “ohhhh, we’re innocent, we had nothing to do with it!” attitude and link. 99 words.
• NBC Webcasts Book of Daniel. 2006-01-27 3:48 PM.
  • Commentary

  NBC will be webcasting an unaired episode of The Book of Daniel tonight at 8PM. Please join me in sending kudos to NBC for continuing to make this novel program about faith and family available to both audiences who value creative story-telling in an otherwise dreary television landscape, and to Americans who enjoy the freedom to choose their viewing habits without interference from strong-armed lobbyist organizations. 66 words.
• Sorry, Ranting About Daniel Again. 2006-01-27 8:55 PM.
  • Commentary

  I would like to take this opportunity to rebuke entertainment journalists worldwide. I am referring, of course, to the somewhat dated news that NBC has cancelled The Book of Daniel. Another slew of articles appeared in my news reader on the subject today, and each was predictable down to the letter, being nearly word-for-word copies of the original news story from earlier this week. 503 words.

• AFA Marching Again. 2006-03-15 7:53 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  It’s always fun to rag on the Totalitarian Family Association: US anti-gay group launches boycott of Ford. Don Wildmon, raging American patriot, is inciting his flock to stone… I mean… boycott Ford Motor Co. I first encountered him back in January when he took credit for denying Americans the freedom to watch whatever shows they want on their own televisions. Now he’s trying to deny Americans the opportunity to help Ford claw its way back into the global automobile market. 85 words.

• CAIR Tries To Pull An AFA Trick. 2007-01-19 8:12 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  I agree with Squeaky Wheel’s thoughts about CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim lobbyist group with suspected ties to terrorism) being upset about the new season of 24: Islamic PC Police Attack ‘24’ While Continuing To Ignore The Cause and Focus On The Symptoms. CAIR should get over it. Offended Muslims should watch something else. 287 words.
