Write your obit before you die
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.
So with all of those accomplishments under his belt, how does the Charlotte Observer start their last tribute?
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.
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.
So everyone sit down right now and write your obit before the media highlights your high comment count at TAH.

Typical, fringe-left scum.
Sorry I’m off topic, but I thought you may want to be aware of a video that is circulating facebook and youtube, to garner sympathy for the American Servicemen.

Its a great video until 1:48 where a familiar certain IVAW anti-war guy is suddenly seen with tears in his eyes (blonde curly hair and a hat on). All the rest of the video shows active service members. Except him. There may be more but I stopped watching at that moment. -B
just thought it was odd and wanted to bring it to your attention. you may already be aware of it.
I once walked into his office in Raleigh and said should I call you doctor, senator or general? He said call me Jim. He was one hell of a nice guy. There were so many hateful comments that the Observer took them off. He didn’t deserve them. He will receive a hero’s burial at Arlington. All the haters can go to hell. I know where Doctor, Senator, General Forrester is.
Good stuff, CavRick. Funny how that works: The guys who earned the right to certain titles don’t need them.
Very well done, CavRick!
