"All our great Presidents were leaders of thought at times when certain historic ideas in the life of the nation had to be clarified." -Franklin D. Roosevelt, September 11, 1932

Skewed Values

NBC affiliates KARK-TV in Little Rock and WTWO-TV of Terre Haute have elected NOT to air NBC's religious drama "The Book of Daniel," which debuts tonight on the peacock network. Little Rock's WB station, KWBF-TV, has apparently made arrangements with NBC to carry the show.

Little Rock is the home of the American Family Association, which unsuccessfully lobbied against ABC's "NYPD Blue," which the AFA considered unacceptably risqué when it debuted in 1993.

Interestingly enough, at the time no one from the American Family Association had seen an advance copy of "NYPD Blue" before issuing its jihad to members in 1993, and no one from the American Family Association has yet seen a tape of "The Book of Daniel."

They just know it's going to be blasphemous.

Don't ask me how.

The American Family Association, which claims 3,042,191 members and openly battles homosexuality and "adult entertainment," pledges to change American "culture to reflect Biblical truth and traditional family values."

God help us.
