Evidently NJ governors are very much into flying the flag at half mast:

I didn't hear all this fussing when Jindal lowered the flags for an Archbishop:

or when Corbet lowered the flags for a football coach:
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-400_162-5736...alf-staff/
There do seem to be very specific people for whom the President - or a governor - are meant to honor this way. http://www.usflag.org/nffhalfstaff.html It also appears to be quite a common error and I'm not comfortable with everyone raising Cain about Houston practically on the heels of an equally inappropriate use for Dead White Guy.
