Ron Silver Dies..A Good Actor and Former Lefty That Saw the Light
Actor and former Democrat, Ron Silver died yesterday from cancer, he was 62.
He left the Democrat party in 2001 and became an Independent and a supporter of President Bush, citing the 9/11 attacks and Democratic policies regarding terrorism as reasons. He was a guest speaker at the 2004 Republican National Convention:
At first I didn't even know that Silver was a Democrat. But being an actor in Hollyweird, well, when in Rome...
I first saw his political side in the Fahrenheit 9/11-debunking documentary that-finally, after being the darling of the media for waaay to long-exposed Michael Moore for the manipulator and liar that he is, Fahrenhype 9/11. Silver shared his views on "Moore's version of national defense, no thanks." He also narrated the film. I remember a lot of his good performances in mainstream films, as well. I think Blue Steel with Jamie Lee Curtis is where I consciencely remember him first. There must have been an earlier one, but nothing comes to mind.
But I liked his acting, his performances and the fact that he came to the light after having been on the dark side for how many years as a desciple of crazy-think.
May he rest in peace.

Yeah, I was concerned. I'm glad you're okay and back to posting. Don't work too hard and take it easy sometimes. :) Thanks for the links! Yeah, it's sick that Katie Couric got an award for her interview with Palin. Sick.
