In case you are wondering, the cartoon above is what the Republicans are counting on. Below is an e-mail that Father Orthoduck received from a Democrat. It does exemplify a limited collective memory. After The 8 Years Of The Bush/Cheney Disaster, NOW You Get Mad? You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a […]
Story that makes one snicker
Have you ever read a story that made you snicker, then you felt guilty for snickering? The story below comes from the Cincinnati.com website, under their crime section. Father Orthoduck admits that this story made him snicker and then made him feel guilty for snickering. Nevertheless, it is somewhat funny. So, Father Orthoduck decided to […]
Hope springs eternal
All too often it seems as though we are in the same position as Linus in the pumpkin patch. We await something that will come only very rarely. Let Father Orthoduck mention that Linus never got to see the Great Pumpkin because he believed in something that did not exist. But, Father Orthoduck does believe […]
Kids say interesting things
This reminds me of a show that was old when I was young. That show was hosted by Art Linkletter and was called “Kids says the darndest things.” In that show, Mr. Linkletter would ask questions of children and would wait for the inevitable faux pas that some child or other would make. Art Linkletter’s […]
Latinos should not vote says political ad
A friend of mine wrote to me: From the news–perhaps a good blog topic for you would be the political ad directed at Latinos, urging them NOT to vote. Have you heard or seen this ad? Unfortunately, I have heard of this ad. It was originally put out in Nevada by a GOP-linked group. Already […]

What does Father Orthoduck mean as the “nuclear option?” The nuclear option is where the person attributes what you are saying to anything but logic and knowledge. You […]
On expecting the unexpected
One of the things about living in the South is that it has a different cultural approach to how one presents oneself. There is more of an emphasis here on what most people would call an “Aw Shucks” approach among many, but not all, down here. While it is true that in the big cities […]
Christian Porn
The post below is from Pithless Thoughts. Father Orthoduck is only posting part of it. I do highly recommend that you go to his blog and read the entire article. So, I recently posted a video of a “goofy” charismatic couple “praying”. Basically to be honest, I posted it because it invited derision, smirking, ridicule […]
Some spiritual leader humor
Father Orthoduck has actually met some “enlightened” Orthodox who actually have convinced themselves that they are mocked simply because people are jealous of them. Frankly, Father Orthoduck much prefers people who are able to mock themselves. Father Orthoduck thinks that is why he likes the postings of Pithless Thoughts so much. Father Orthoduck just returned […]
Spiritual warfare is not simply self-denial
What is the difference between practice and a game? Perhaps Father Orthoduck should change his terminology to ask what is the difference between drill and war? In both practice and drill you have at least some choice concerning when you stop for a while. Even if you yourself dare not stop, you have either a […]
