The headline reads, WHITE HOUSE MAY CAVE ON PUBLIC OPTION However, if you click on the link, you will find that it goes to a rather sedate Wall Street Journal article which has a different headline.

We need Osama to attack again?
To say that Father Orthoduck is somewhat surprised by this interview on CNN would be an understatement. Is this analyst really saying that we need Osama bin Laden to attack us again so that we will wake up and take stronger security measure than the ones we already have taken?

When is a good Orthodox (or Catholic) not a good Orthodox? part 04
On my last post Steve made a comment that jumped ahead and saw part of where I am going with this whole discussion, he said, “Maybe these Catholics are really Protestants after all?” To which I replied: Steve, you win the “seeing-ahead” prize.

Pundits, bloggers and perplexed citizens ruminate over the lessons they have learned, again […]
The Lost Art of Righteousness – Fr. Orthohippo
Fr. Orthohippo recently posted the below on his post. It is a good analysis about the masks the self-righteousness bears. It was interesting to Father Orthoduck that conventionality is one of the better masks worn by the Pharisee. ==================== “Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail […]

Father Orthoduck wishes to contribute this video to the Second Amendment discussion on one of Father Ernesto’s posts.
