1950: General Douglas MacArthur and Korea

On this day in 1950, we remember that General Douglas MacArthur, World War II hero, was appointed head of the United Nations Command in South Korea by President Harry S. Truman.  Eventually, General MacArthur was fired in April 1951.

A word about Ron Silver (1946-2009)




We remember that Ron Silver was born July 2, 1946.    He died March 15, 2009 after fighting cancer for a few years.

Like many of us, Ron Silver got a big wake up call on 9-11.

Silver understood that there were people in the world determined to blow up one of our cities and kill thousands of innocent people.  Let's not forget that they'd cut your head off if you disagree with them, too.

On top of that, he was a great actor.

A few years agp, my friend Rick Moran wrote about Silver.

In fact, Silver did not change. He was always a liberal on social issues.

Silver understood that the terrorists were opposed to everything that liberals believed in, from women's rights to any kind of tolerance.

Silver concluded that you couldn't do business with people who think that we should live under some kind of 12th century justice.

We take a minute this weekend to remember Ron Silver! It's a shame that there aren't more people like Ron Silver in Hollywood!
  
Last, but not least, make sure you watch "Fahrenhype 9-11", a response to Michael Moore.
