highwayscribery has never made it a policy to publish all the statements regarding deaths in Iraq or Afghanistan released by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
We’ve done so the past two days to highlight the increased numbers in which these soldiers – either from or stationed in California – are now dying.
We have done so to make a point we shall not belabor. After today, this Web log reverts to the occasional reminder of this ghastly business. We will not let George Bush or Al-Qaeda or Al- Zarqawi or Al Franken turn our world, or highwayscribery, into a house of death.
