Many have asked in the last year or so since Poofle went kaput, "Mike, what have you been up to?" OK, so nobody asked, but here's what's keeping my attention lately.

To: American Family Association
Subject: Book of Daniel

You give a bad name to Americans, Families, Christians and tolerant people of any faith.

I'm ashamed that you are my neighbors, colleagues and fellow voters.

Truly, truly embarassing.

Michael,
No need to be such a sore loser.

We wish you the very best!

Dear Buddy,
Such maturity and really a well thought-out response. Bravo! (No, not the gay-friendly TV channel)

I'm puzzled by the sore loser part though, as I didn't realize we were in a competition. Please to be realizing that my thoughts were not made in defeat as you contend, but rather in embarrassment of your actions. After all we're talking about a fictional TV show, something your organization fails to comprehend. You picked a fight with a fictional TV show...an enormously hilarious concept if you take a moment to sit back and really reflect upon your priorities. Some people protest human rights violations, others an unjust war. You, valiant defender of Christianity, protest a TV show.

What about Desperate Housewives or Two And A Half Men...how's that victory parade shaping up? Maybe your 'victory' with The Book of Daniel has more to do with the show's low ratings than anything AFA can take credit for. And thanks to AFA, I watched an episode of Law and Order in place of the Book of Daniel, and that show featured splattered blood from a gunshot wound to the head (witnessed by young children), prominent shots of partially exposed female breasts, drug addicts and a child conceived by adultery.

Kudos Buddy and everyone at AFA on 'winning'! All the best to you and yours as well.

-Michael
