Meanwhile, in Crawford: Wounded warriors ride with President Bush in fifth-annual 100K

While Thursday’s news was largely dominated by coverage of protests and marches in cities across the nation in solidarity with Baltimore, we’d feel bad if we didn’t take at least a quick detour to Crawford, Texas for something completely different: the kickoff of the Bush Presidential Center’s fifth annual Warrior 100K. The three-day event will see George W. Bush mountain biking with nearly 20 wounded warriors injured in Afghanistan and Iraq.
