Often when I walked onto the set of the West Wing some of my colleagues would greet me with a chanting of "Ron, Ron, the neo-con." It was all done in fun but it had an edge.

Since speaking in support of George Bush at the 2004 Republican convention I've become increasingly disadmired by members of my profession as well as many others. As of this writing my family tells me they still love me. I believe them, but stay tuned, as another presidential cycle is upon us.
..................

..............I believe the President's critics are profoundly mistaken. I believe they misunderstand how he's trying to protect us. I believe they misunderstand the nature of the threat. I believe they misunderstand history. If they succeed in dismantling what President Bush has set in motion, the results may well be catastrophic and history will never forgive them.

George W. Bush: a revolutionary liberal internationalist? History may so decree. Let's wait and see.

My philosophy, at the end of the day, bottom line, as they say: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but labels never hurt me."


Right ON! RON!!!... :yes:

Don't'cha' think you should question the veracity of this type of propaganda when there isn't a legitimate news source, or a first-person claim, to be found in an internet search?  Huh?

I tend to be a skeptic, you should know that Henry... :biggrin:

Here's the "About Us" page for Pajamas Media:

http://pajamasmedia.com/pages/2006/08/about_us.php

I don't see any mention of Ron Silver's name at all, I don't see him listed in the blogger's roll, or much less listed as contributing any content.  Other than his picture and name at the top of your original link which are supposed to imply he wrote the content, there's nothing one would normally associate with known name published content.  Maybe the most telling is that there's no copyright shown on your page for Ron Silver.

Sorry, Henry, I'm skeptical.

I am critical because I don't believe Bush went to war in Iraq with the best interests of national security in mind.

He is listed under pajamaExpress, and he is listed on the right hand side if you go to the pajamasmedia.com homepage. If you mouseover his picture, you can go to the "Why I'm Here" page for Mr. Silver, which says this:

Basically it comes down to this. My children and friends said I was driving them crazy when I had a running conversation - loudly I might add - with my TV set. I too was dissatisfied when my set did not respond. I knew there was a better way to go about this. This being sharing my thoughts about Chris Matthews, and his panel of experts and their cohorts around the dial.

I guess the final straw was when Chris, whom I like personally, ridiculed the President for bringing up the junta's crackdown in Burma before the U.N. His panel of experts then went mockingly on its way to make jokes about Burma Shave commercials and basically who cares. The next day the Burmese regime started killing the monks and many others. No apologies yet from MSNBC. I single out Chris, because I like him. He's smart and does his homework yet is compromised by the dictates of his network and /or most of his peers. Does he really think Larry Craig is more important than what's happening in Burma? Or that acting as a shill for Valerie Plame's book is truly worthwhile? Why does he only play Hardball with views he despises and play hearts with those who agree with him? The film V for Vendetta was more sophisticated and thought-provoking than Chris these days.

Lest this be thought of as Hardball Hate Fest. I bring this up because it was the culmination of my impotent rage at what was being foisted on us. I've appeared on Hardball many times and been part of their 2004 Election night coverage team. It's my disappointment that men like Chris are co-opted and debase political discourse, that make my rage runneth over.

The new real democracy is online. Forget the pollsters. Hearing what individuals who do not make a living from pandering to one team or another, who do not need the assurance that their thinking is in accord with their colleagues of whom they're either afraid of or need reassurance from.

Hence Bloggo ergo sum – first offering.

Might be the NoScript plug-in I'm using with FFox.  It does some funny things to sites at times. 

Anyway, arriving at the site through Henry's original link (the Silver Bullet page) when I clicked on the Home link (top left) I got nothing more than a refresh of the same original page.  I followed the drop down link under PajamaMedia to access the About Us page where I found the info I presented which had no references to Ron Silver.

Thanks for the other link.   :yes: 

I can access the main page from there whereas I couldn't from the other one.
