If you can’t take the heat, don’t run for public office

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.31.2009

From Capitol Confidential: The Watertown Daily Times reports that Republican Dede Scozzafava is folding her tents due to a lack of funds and a new Siena poll, released just this morning, that finds her too far behind Democrat Bill Owens and insurgent Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman to stand a chance of winning Tuesday’s special election [...]

Holy mother of Moses, there were a lot of good comments in October. The October 2009 Comment of the Month is a tie between last month’s winner, Doug1, who argues against date rape: The whole effort to make intoxication sex rape at the girls option after the fact is an abomination and must be thoroughly and vehemently [...]

Death to democracy

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.30.2009

“Lastly, as for strategic considerations, in order to approach the goal of a non-exploitative social order, i.e., a private property anarchy, the idea of majoritarianism should be turned against democratic rule itself. Under any form of governmental rule, including a democracy, the ‘ruling class’ (politicians and civil servants) makes up only a small proportion of [...]

Rude joke of the day

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.30.2009

Overheard on the Dan Lynch show on Talk 1300 recently: An old man is audited by the IRS. He shows up at the IRS offices with his lawyer. The auditor says to the old man, “Well sir, according to our records, you are able to enjoy a very luxurious lifestyle despite not being employed. How [...]

Sluttiness implies consent; or, how feminists encourage violence against women

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.29.2009

NOTE: I drafted this post three weeks ago but decided to shelve it in favor of more pressing topics. Because I’m on a pseudo-vacation and the draft was mostly done, I decided to yank this one out of the lockbox and finish it for you. Enjoy. Via the eXiled, I came across a manifesto entitled “Sluts Against Rape” [...]

A name for the enemies of gender realism

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.28.2009

Eumaios left this comment on this post: Part of the problem: Some men on the Game side use “social conservative” as a metonym. It is not the ideas or policies of social conservatism that characterize the kind of person we are referring to. Rather, we wish to identify an attitude possessed by almost all men [...]

You guessed it – more gloating!

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.28.2009

Everyone’s favorite North Country RINO’s congressional bid has officially gone up in flames: For the second time in two days, a poll released by a conservative group finds Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman leading the Nov. 3 special election race for New York’s 23rd District. Neighborhood Research polled the district for Minuteman PAC, the political [...]

No, your standards are not that high

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.27.2009

After seeing the usual suspects on this Roissy post claiming the pictured girl isn’t that hot so they can look discerning, I was going to write a brief rant spelling out why they’re full of shit, but as it turns out, Roissy himself has already done the job for me: …most of these internet nerdlings [...]

He still doesn't get it, and he probably never will

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.26.2009

Lawrence Auster has linked to Welmer’s superlative Spearhead article “How Game Secured American Independence.” He doesn’t bother refuting Welmer’s thesis, though, simply dismissing it as “amusing.” Whenever someone does this, it’s usually because they realize they’re intellectually outclassed and are trying to save face. Larry, what happened to ya, man? How did the brilliant mind [...]

The gloat fest continues in New York’s 23rd

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.26.2009

Due to completely foreseen events, posting will be light this week. I’ll still be here Tweeting, commenting on your blogs and the like, but don’t expect too much in the way of big posts and deep thoughts.

This streamlined approach will allow you, the reader, to spend less time scrolling through my blog and more time actually reading the plugged posts. Also, in adherence to Rule 5, I’m including a complementary pic [...]

Shakespearean game

This scene wasn’t in the original play, but the creators handled it beautifully. Especially watch what happens from 7:55 forward: Have a good weekend.

He beats you so that you will love him

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.22.2009

For those of you who don’t live in the not-so-great Empire State, Hiram Monserrate is a Democratic State Senator from Queens who was brought up on felony and misdemeanor charges for rearranging his girlfriend’s face with a wine glass last year. Last week, he was acquitted of the felony charges and will assuredly get a [...]

The disease is in your genes, part deux

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.22.2009

The beauty about having an open forum policy on a blog means the comment section can be run on autopilot. The patrons of In Mala Fide are a passionate but civilized lot, who know to not put their feet on the furniture and to respect the rules of the house. As I’ve been strapped for [...]

Niceness is a vice; kindness is a virtue

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.21.2009

Some of you are probably wondering what the hell substance I’ve been abusing to come up with a title like that. Niceness and kindness are synonyms, or so that’s what the thesaurus says. Well, that’s the thing – if niceness and kindness were identical concepts, we wouldn’t need two separate words to describe the same [...]

How to walk like a man

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.20.2009

For every year I age, I seem to lose another year’s worth of memories. One of the few I have left from my early childhood was a game I played in which I twisted my ankles as far out as they would go, trying to balance myself with my toes pointing straight to the left [...]

The fundamentals of game

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.19.2009

After studying the responses in the open thread, I have now constructed what I believe is a complete and logical definition of game that can serve as a reference. The definition and seven principles contained here are the core of game, or inner game as some call it. These are qualities that all attractive men, [...]

Linkage is Good for You: Really Freaking Long Edition

by Ferdinand Bardamu 10.18.2009

Because I’m far too lazy to keep thinking up puns that involve the word “plug,” I’m sticking with one title from here on out. New bloggers on the roll include Bob Belvedere, who I introduced in this post. He describes himself as follows: I like to describe myself as an 18th Century conservative.  I am [...]
