Removing this line:
	 self.l["text"] = "Lord be Praised"
and it works fine.
I'm not a Tk expert but I think it doesn't like sending another message  
 from inside a message handler.

I'd try to decouple both actions; inside OnDrawClipboard just save the  
clipboard contents in an instance attribute, and then invalidate the  
window; show the contents on response to wm_paint messages.
