More Gore

The highway scribe doesn't go in much for joining or labels, and he doesn't think his focus or content qualify him as a pure "liberal blogger," but some times he does the liberal blogger thing. Today is one of those days.

So does highwayscribery. Go to this Web site.

Meantime, below are some more unfortunate soldiers to honor in our humble way here. We are sorry. If you saw the ABC special about Bob Woodruff's recovery from his wounding in Iraq, then you're still wiping the tears away. It's terrible these men and their families must have their lives destroyed in this way.
