At 2:30 this afternoon today, the USA and Ghana will play in the Round of 16. In honor of this event Father Orthoduck has posted above the Colombian singer Shakira performing the theme song for the 2010 World Cup at the opening concert. Now, you might ask why a Colombian singer is performing the theme […]
Wacky Evangelical division of the world
The map above was sent to me in an e-mail. You know, the type of e-mail that is meant as pure humor. There really was no commentary attached, the map itself was the joke. At first, I just sighed and was going to hit delete. I considered it just some sophomoric humor, say about […]
USA WINS GAME AND WINS GROUP
USA WINS GAME AND WINS GROUP Landon Donovan scored a stunning goal in the first minute of injury time, advancing the United States to the second round at the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Algeria. With the U.S. perhaps three minutes from elimination Wednesday, Donovan brought the ball upfield on a counterattack and […]
Vive la France – NOT
If the French National team managed to accomplish one thing during the 2010 World Cup, it was too reinforce every negative stereotype against France. Putting the final touch on a truly classless performance on the field and off was French coach Raymond Domenech, who refused to shake hands with South African coach Carlos Alberto Parreira, […]
And then there is the view from the odd coast
Yesterday, Father Orthoduck published the resolution from the Southern Baptist Convention. However, not all people have as balanced a view of the oil spill as the SBC had in its resolution. In fact, above is a YouTube video from one of the less restrained folk. If you look at this video and then search, you […]
Southern Baptists speak out on the Gulf oil spill
Below is the text of the resolution on the Gulf Oil spill passed by the Southern Baptist Convention at their meeting last week in Orlando. As you read it, please note that one can see signs of a changing of some of the traditional Southern Baptist stances. As one of the other resolutions states, the […]
Futbol, futbol, futbol, 2010
This has been an incredibly good World Cup for Latin America and, yes, for the USA. As Father Orthoduck looks at the World Cup standings, he is quite surprised at the number of Latin American teams that are in the top two slots of their groups. Meantime, this has been a very bad year for […]
Failure is always an option
Yes, Father Orthoduck is a huge Mythbusters fan! There are several sayings that have come from that show that are favorites of Father Orthoduck: Failure is always an option. I reject your reality and substitute my own. Jamie wants big boom. Am I missing a eye brow? Well there’s your problem! If I had any […]
Neither England nor Algeria score, a scoreless tie
Incredible! England and Algeria tied yesterday in their group World Soccer game. [For those of you expecting serious Orthodox postings on days of important World Soccer games, uhm, you might be disappointed.] This means that the USA is actually in second place in their group with Slovenia being in first place. It also means that […]
USA and Slovenia tie
USA 2 and Slovenia 2 Who would have thought it? Actually more than one commentator thought that the USA had won the game, except our third goal was taken away from us by the referee. As usual, this will lead to a lot of debates as to whether there ought to be some type of […]
