Daniel walks into Lion's Den; Ambushed by Piranhas

Bottom line: NBC cancelled the doomed series, "The book of Daniel"

Let me start off by saying that I never watched it and so I can't be sure it was good or bad. But that's the whole point now isn't it? Its success or failure had nothing to do with the quality of the writing, but with a bunch of spineless SOB's and hypocrites that are so concerned about imposing their views on others, that they often neglect to notice that they are in fact the biggest sinners of all.

I'm appalled and disgusted by this story. It leaves me sick to the stomach. I'm not sure who's worse...the religious right who pressured all and "Sunday" to "abort" or the advertisers that turned their back on the show and watched it go quietly into the night or ultimately NBC for not showing any chutzpah by sticking to their conviction (assuming they had one to start with)

Again, I'm not passing judgment on the content of the show as I never watched it, but I'm so fed up with networks pulling the plug on series because of an antiquated methdology that belongs on TVLand, not in TV Land.

• Why is it that originality is frowned upon and mediocrity embraced?
• Why is it that active minorities always sour and poison the drinking water of the silent majority?
• Why is it that all these empowered complainers can't use their remote controls to mute or change the channel if they don't like what they see on TV.

On a tangential note, I'd like to see a celebrity tag-team deathmatch between Howard Stern and Jon Stewart (100% Tribe) taking on Pat Robertson and the FCC's Adelstein (mixed marriage), except this time it would be FOR REAL. Ugggh.

On another tangential note, I went hunting to pull an article from the New York Post on Howard Stern's new Sirius Show and his ongoing battle with the FCC. (Apparently, the show is still time-delayed and Howard has been given some decency guidelines to abide by. What's up with that?) Anyway, get this...the Post is (still) 25c, and yet the schmucks want me to pay $3.95 for this one article online. The media world is so screwed up...

And there's talk that Piazza could come to the Yankees. Piazza and Clemens as teammates?

The world has gone mad.

Armageddon is approaching.

Daniel is safe in the lion's den.
