Texans Take Politics Seriously

From a story today in the Houston Chronicle:

THE WOODLANDS, Texas — A paid obituary for a Houston-area man who died of cancer recently urged mourners to, in lieu of flowers, "please make a donation to ANYONE running against" President Barack Obama.

James Harrison of The Woodlands died Feb. 27 at the age of 68. Harrison was a retired food-service worker.

His stepson, told KRIV-TV of Houston that Harrison "was an avid Republican and just took that to the grave with him."

Harrison wrote the appeal for donations to Obama opponents himself before he died.

The obituary, which was approved by his family, also suggested donations to the American Cancer Society as an alternative.
