Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

There’s a bigger undercurrent issue here which we’ll be discussing tomorrow….

WASHINGTON – An exhibit at the “Feminist Museum” at the University of Oregon (UO) has attacked hardware stores for selling tools that have been painted pink.
Britt Bowen, a UO graduate student and co-creator of “Feminist Museum” told Campus Reform that fellow student Mattie Reynolds created the project to protest “the way that certain companies will target female customers by painting things pink.”
“I have this huge problem with going into hardware stores and seeing these traditionally ‘male’ tools that companies make applicable to women by making them pink,” Reynolds said in an article published in Daily Emerald, a student newspaper.  (read more)

UPDATE:  We covered this two weeks ago.  However, the media are beginning to report because video has been released:

Shoot First – Ask Questions Later

South Carolina – Deputy Terrance Knox, 24, stopped Bobby Canipe, 70, of Lincolnton, Tuesday night in Clover, for an expired tag.
Deputies said Canipe got out of his truck and grabbed a walking cane out of the bed of his pickup. The deputy thought the cane was a weapon.
Knox fired his gun at Canipe several times, striking him once in the stomach area.  Close friends said Canipe had surgery Wednesday at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, and is expected to survive. (more…)

NEW HAMPSHIRE – A GOP source familiar with his plans confirmed to The Hill that Brown is  launching the committee. The  Associated Press first reported the news via Twitter, and said the committee  news could come as “early as tomorrow.”
Brown is seen by Republicans as the strongest possible candidate against  Shaheen, whom they believe to be vulnerable because of frustration with  ObamaCare in New Hampshire.
He moved to New Hampshire late last year and has been campaigning and  fundraising for local GOP candidates and the state party for the past six months  or so — all steps that only fueled speculation over his plans. (more…)

and then moments later…. (more…)

(NBC Via WeaselZippers)  South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, R, offered his help with the GOP House of Representatives on a stalled Ukraine assistance bill in a hot-mic moment with Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday.
The YouTube ID of hSDWKo9cwGY?feature=player_detailpage is invalid.
After Kerry finished an appearance before the Senate Appropriations Committee, microphones caught Graham telling Kerry: “Hey John, good job! Let me know what I can do to help you with [GOP House Speaker John] Boehner.”
The House passed Ukraine assistance legislation earlier this week, but Senate leaders rejected it on Wednesday, making for a familiar bit of congressional gridlock. (more…)

Given recent reports and media releases a growing contingent of people are beginning to wonder if this is a “tail wagging dog story”.     A constructed event diverting all international attention away from what is taking place with Russia, Ukraine – and to a lesser degree, Venuzela…..

Malaysian Authorities Do Not Find Missing Plane Where Chinese Satellite Images Showed Possible Debris.

Officials suspect that the plane flew for a total of five hours based on data automatically downloaded and sent back to Rolls Royce – the manufacturers of the Boeing 777′s engines. US counter-terrorism teams are now pursuing the astonishing possibility that the plane and its 239 passengers was diverted to an undisclosed location ‘with the intention of using it later for another purpose’.  (link)

(Via Yahoo News)  It doesn’t even look real.
A hunter in North Carolina says he bagged a 500-pound wild pig last month.

Jett Webb, a 34-year-old from Conetoe, N.C., was hunting boar at the White Oak Ranch Hunting Club in Bertie County on Feb. 28 when he spotted the giant swine.
“It was very surreal,” Webb told WNCT-TV. “It was a shock. It was very humbling to say the least, when you walk up on a beast that big and you say, ‘Oh my gosh. I had no idea that there could be something that big running around the woods of Eastern North Carolina.’” (more…)
