Farmer needs 'fishing licence" to clear flooded fields

This can't get any worse - Quebec Farmer is forced to obtain a "fishing license" in order to remove fish from his flooded crop land.

CAN CHILD SUPPORT ARREARS BE CANCELLED?

I found Gene COLEMAN's article (and website) quite interesting.

Seattle Cold Case Solved

I found this article fascinating as it provides such perspective on Desegregation of the 1960's - and now that things have changed so dramatically.  Of course I had never heard of Edwin Pratt - but he was one of many.  That he died so soon after Martin Luther King is also prophetic.

Music: Forever Reign by Hillsong Live [Christian Single Release Promo 2010]

Lyrics: You are good, You are good, when there's nothing good in me.
You are love, You are love, on display for all to see.
You are light, You are light, when the darkness closes in.
You are hope, You are hope, You have covered all my sin.

You are peace, You are peace, when my fear is crippling.
You are true, You are true, even in my wandering.
You are joy, You are joy, You're the reason that I sing.
You are life, You are life, in You death has lost its sting.

Chorus:
Oh, I'm running to Your arms, I'm running to Your arms.
The riches of Your love, will always be enough.
Nothing compares to Your embrace.
Light of the world, forever reign.

You are more, You are more, than my words will ever say.
You are Lord, You are Lord, all creation will proclaim.
You are here, You are here, in Your presence I'm made whole.
You are God, You are God, of all else I'm letting go.

Bridge:
My heart will sing
No other name
Jesus, Jesus.

wordplay

I saw the newest Conservative MP for Mississauga South named Eve Adams and immediately thought of the play on words of her name "Adam and Eve" which led me to Google the proper description of such a condition.

Double Entendre - a figure of speech in which a spoken phrase is devised to be understood in either of two ways. Often the first (more obvious) meaning is straightforward, while the second meaning is less so: often risqué, inappropriate, or ironic.

Bowdlerization - Expurgation is a form of censorship which involves purging anything deemed noxious or offensive, usually from an artistic work. 

Oxymoron - phrase of opposite meanings - military intelligence (military operations demand anything but intelligence just blind compliance), jumbo shrimp (obvious image) or modern primitive.

Spoonerism - an error in speech or deliberate play on words in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched. [I think of the term "The dear old Queen" becomes "The Queer old Dean"]

None apply - but the idea remains.
