You don’t want the media to write your obituary, so you’d better do it now. I say that because of a link that CavRick sent us to a final report on Jim Forrester, a retired State Senator and legislature from North Carolina. He was a flight surgeon during the Vietnam War and then flew medical supplies to the far East. He was also the Adjutant General of the North Carolina AIr National Guard. <\/p>\n
So with all of those accomplishments under his belt, how does the Charlotte Observer<\/a> start their last tribute?<\/p>\n Jim Forrester, the Gaston County lawmaker who pushed hard to ban gay marriage for a good part of his 11 terms in the N.C. Senate, died Monday at age 74.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yup, his most significant act was opposing gay marriages. Yeah, they go on to tell about all of that other stuff, but the lead paragraph is how you introduce the subject to the readers.<\/p>\n So everyone sit down right now and write your obit before the media highlights your high comment count at TAH.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
