Five pithy aphorisms for your weekend

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.31.2009

Women love men who are loved by other women. If she cheats, she’ll cheat again. The best stereotypes are rooted in truth. No one is more obsessed with religion than an atheist. Never attribute to culture that which can be adequately explained by economics.

NAMs kill people, redux

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.31.2009

This is Part 2.5 of a series on violent crime. See Part 1 and Part 2. Per OneSTDV‘s suggestion, I decided to go back and redo my previous post using the percentages of NAMs instead of minorities in general. I went back to the Census Bureau and subtracted the percentage of Asians from my existing minority [...]

A thought on Empire State liquor law reform

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.30.2009

Several months ago our otherwise moronic governor put forth a sensible proposal to change New York’s puritanical alcohol laws to allow supermarkets to sell wine and liquor. Like every other good idea to come out of Albany, it suffered a slow, quiet death. Now, Manhattan Senator Liz Krueger has brought the idea back and a [...]

Why the newspaper industry is dying

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.30.2009

The Colonie Times Union is gleefully reporting that their biggest competitor has just signed their own death warrant: SCHENECTADY — The Daily Gazette newspaper has decided to mostly end its experiment with free online content. Web advertising revenue wasn’t enough to justify the perceived threat to its print publication, said Judy Patrick, the managing editor. [...]

How women can maintain their looks as they age

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.29.2009

A question to the studio audience: can women keep their looks as they get older? Short answer: No. Mother Nature is a cruel and unforgiving bitch. Long answer: No, but with proper lifestyle choices they can soften the aging process. When it comes to sexual stimulation, men are visual creatures. This means that once a [...]

If women are so much better than men at everything…

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.28.2009

Fidelbogan recently posted an extensive discussion on female supremacy in PDF format. I highly recommend that you check it out. While reading it, I noticed a common thread among the female supremacists – many of them argued that women have ALWAYS been superior to men and that the only reason they haven’t taken over the [...]

Family formation and Japanese "herbivore men"

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.28.2009

Half Sigma posted this National Post article earlier on the phenomenon of “herbivore men” in the Land of the Rising Sun. There are a few money quotes in the piece (pun intended): For decades, Japanese men were expected to work full-time after graduating from high school or college, marry and support their wife and children. [...]

Guns don't kill people, NAMs kill people

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.27.2009

This is Part 2 of a series on violent crime. See Part 1. In my previous post on violent crime, I mentioned that the states with the least amount of crime were also states with extremely small minority populations. This one got me thinking; are minority-heavy states crime-ridden states? To test this hypothesis, I used [...]

On the carnal delights of young women

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.26.2009

“So, in order to stay young, throw away your old wife, never even look at overweight, wrinkled woman. Find yourself a pretty teenage girl and fuck her as often as you can. Don’t let a complex of inferiority to overcome you. Contrary to all rules of bourgeois society, in reality young girls like to get [...]

China's hypergamous hell

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.25.2009

I posted this item to my Twitter, but it was too good to let languish there. It seems taking concubines is all the rage among China’s high-status men: SHANGHAI – The saying “Behind every successful man, there is a woman” has a twist in China, where it seems that behind every corrupt male official, there [...]

Conor Friedersdorf: A social conservative who just doesn't get it

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.24.2009

I was going to write a lighter post for this Friday, but this post by Conor Friedersdorf (hat tip: Traveller) attacking the neg sent me over the edge: The community of men who study picking up women — let’s call them “players” — are unified by a belief that dating is a “game,” and that [...]

What marriage does to men

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.23.2009

Lupo of The Butcher’s Block left a comment on this Roissy post that bears repeating: Ever notice how talentless married men are? Oh sure, they can show up and do a job every day: the fact that their spirits are broken makes them adequate serfs. They may even make good businessmen; using the swindles they [...]

Tribal politics: GOP goes RINO in New York's 23rd district

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.23.2009

Just in from Capitol Confidential – the Republicans of the 23rd congressional district have picked the dykish-looking Dede Scozzafava to replace the outgoing John McHugh: The 11 Republican County Chairs of New York’s 23rd Congressional district have selected Assemblywoman Diedre [sic] “Dede” Scozzafava to run on the Republican line in the the expected special election [...]

Race, age, and frugality in Maine

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.22.2009

By way of LewRockwell.com, I came across this Boston Globe article on Maine’s supposed culture of “Yankee thrift”: Across the country, masses of worried consumers are taking lessons in getting by with less, turning to websites like suddenlyfrugal.com and thenewfrugalmom.com, and signing up for classes in car care and cooking. But in Maine, where Yankee [...]

No correlation between gun control laws and violent crime rates

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.21.2009

The ostensible purpose of gun control laws is to prevent violent crimes such as murder and manslaughter. Therefore, looking at violent crime data, we’d expect to see a correlation between the strength of a state’s gun control laws and that state’s amount of violent crime. To test this, I used violent crime data for each [...]

Two revealing observations on marriage

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.20.2009

The long-form post I had planned for today is postponed until tomorrow. Until then, here’s something to tide you over: Have you noticed that there are countless wedding magazines, catalogs, and stores aimed at women, but none for men? At the same time, have you noticed that there are countless anti-marriage websites, essays, and blogs [...]

Tribalism: The love that dare not speak its name

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.17.2009

New York Governor David Paterson is the most unpopular governor in Empire State history, and the least popular governor in the nation. He is so despised that members of his own party are openly attacking him. But guess which demographic is still enthralled with SNL’s favorite punching bag: Black voters approve 52 percent to 35 percent [...]

Rod Dreher: A social conservative who just doesn't get it

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.17.2009

Via Robert Stacy McCain, I found this post by walking oxymoron and closeted cuckoldry fetishist Rod Dreher lamenting the pervasiveness of porn among teens: Recently I had dinner with a friend who teaches in a private (secular) high school. He mentioned at one point how much he worried about his students, who were heavily into [...]

How to introduce a blog in 300 words or less

by Ferdinand Bardamu 07.15.2009

Salutations and welcome to another pseudonymously written blog! Why start a blog? There are countless online watering holes where modern day thought criminals hash out impolite ideas under nom de blogs, so what need is there of another one? Well, like many of those folks, I have ideas and thoughts bouncing around my skull that [...]
