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 †

(Orlando Sentinel – Jeff Weiner) The behind-the-scenes turbulence of U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson‘s family life continued to spill into public view Wednesday as his attorneys worked to combat his wife’s recently revealed domestic-violence allegations.
The congressman’s lawyers revealed video of the domestic incident that played out at the Grayson home Saturday, which they said proved that Lolita Grayson committed an attack, not her husband.
“He was hoping that this matter would stay in the courts and outside of the press, but since horrendous accusations have been made against him … he believes that the truth must come out,” Grayson’s attorney Mark NeJame told reporters during a news conference in downtown Orlando.
The 70-year-old, from Treviso, couldn’t believe his eyes when his future daughter-in-law knocked on his door. The South American woman had told everyone, including the 40-year-old son, that she was a waitress.
Red-faced, they decided not to seal the deal.
However, the father, deciding that honesty was the best policy, then told his son the truth. Things got ugly… The relationship between father and son apparently destroyed, and the intended marriage cancelled. Everyone miserable.
QUESTION: Should he have told his son ?
TEXAS – Texas politicians are recoiling after a prominent Lubbock Democrat accused Republican candidate for governor Greg Abbott of “piñata politics” in a bigoted tirade and allegedly disparaged Abbott’s Latina wife.

Knowing you don’t stand a chance of winning an election does allow a certain liberty not possible with viable candidates….
TEXAS – Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis said Thursday that she would not shy away from being seen with President Barack Obama when he visits the Lone Star State next month.
The Democratic state senator’s comments came two days after she secured her party’s nomination in the deep-red state — but lost a number of border counties, raising questions about her performance among Hispanic voters.
“I’m definitely planning on being at the celebration,” Davis said in a live interview with The Texas Tribune, referring to the April gathering in Austin where Obama and ex-presidents are expected to speak about civil rights at the Lyndon B. Johnson presidential library.
“I’m excited about greeting our president there, and our former presidents,” Davis said. (more…)

I’ve been wondering why our latest FOIA request is hitting an unusually obtuse Miami-Dade School void…. Now, things begin to make a little more sense:
President and first lady go to Miami area for education event tomorrow, and had planned to stay for family weekend in south Florida.
