Linkage is Good for You: Leaner, Meaner Edition

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.31.2010

This week’s girl provided by Bhanu Prasad. Check out his new blog devoted to Indian politics and society, More Musings from a FreeWheeling Philosopher. Also, I’ve decided to stop plugging Spearhead entries in these weekly posts, both because very few people click on them (according to my stats) and because I’ve brought back the sidebar [...]

Is my blog still better than your blog?

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.30.2010

Yesterday I caught the attention of one Kathy Shaidle, who linked up my “Around the Internet in 800 words” post, quoting my section on libertarianism (or to be specific, the quote from Martin Regnen I put in that section). Her post sent a huge slice of traffic my way, the most amount I’ve gotten from [...]

Around the Internet in 800 words

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.29.2010

Too many items, not enough time to devote individual posts to them. So you get this pastiche of interesting stuff I’ve found and people have emailed me. Join me as we dive crotch-first into our crazy world. … A while back, a offended libertarian responded to my thesis on libertarianism and nerdiness with this: I’ve [...]

A cynical thought upon the death of J.D. Salinger

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.28.2010

I’m betting that somewhere in Hollywood, a movie executive, upon hearing that Salinger kicked the bucket, immediately thought, “Now we can finally make a movie of The Catcher in the Rye!” Who wants to bet that the vultures won’t wait until the body has cooled before they start picking at the flesh? In any event, [...]

Democrats and Republicans unite to form the Misandry Party

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.28.2010

I report at The Spearhead on a recent case of Democratic and Republican congresswomen coming together through sexism. An excerpt: When female legislators from the two major parties in the world’s most powerful nation can come together through their disdain for men, it is obvious that we have no allies in the halls of power.

Trumwill, eat your heart out

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.27.2010

A map of the United States with state boundaries redrawn to have mostly equal populations. Click on the pic to experience it in its full, fictional glory: Although I like the pretty colors, the mapmaker’s insistence on maintaining original state borders (see: Missouri) limits the map’s creativity. Trumwill wins this round. For those of you who don’t [...]

A revelation in the darkness

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.26.2010

People can change. Human nature is not immutable; your destiny is not set in stone. With concerted effort, or just the passing of time, you too can change. What is true is that there are no sudden transformations. Change is not a lightning bolt from the heavens, a thunderclap to jolt you out of your [...]

The burning will never go away

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.25.2010

Kevin Slaughter has posted at his blog the latest installments of the Vice Travel Guide video series, in which a group of nutters Vice Magazine reporters journey to Liberia to interview former warlords and tour the world’s worst slums. Fascinating stuff, worth a watch. Poking around the VBS site, I found an horrifyingly captivating series [...]

The blog gets a theme song?

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.23.2010

Reader Mike emailed me a link to this music video by Avenged Sevenfold saying it “fits In Mala Fide all too well.” Does it? Let’s take a look: (Read the lyrics here.) Damning criticism of modern society? Check. Everpresent literary and religious symbolism? Check. Millenarianism leavened with mirth, delivered in a upbeat manner? Check. Hot, half-naked [...]

Game and gender hierarchy

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.21.2010

The general contention around this ‘sphere is that the biggest reason certain women hate and fear game is because it allows men to turn the traditional alpha-beta-omega hierarchy of sexual attractiveness on its head. When men can aspire to be alphas, or just raise themselves out of their station in life period, a fundamental pillar [...]

Marriage is dying – how will women respond?

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.20.2010

Yesterday, John Smith/TAllagash linked up a story from The Frisky (the poor woman’s Jezebel) on older American women seeking European men for long-term relationships and marriage. The primary complaints of both Amelia McDonell-Parry (the no-doubt very SWPL chick who wrote the post) and Irina Aleksander (who wrote the article for the New York Observer that [...]

The funniest part of the Massachusetts special Senate election

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.20.2010

The special Senate election in Massachusetts, in which a Republican won the seat formerly held by “liberal lion” Ted Kennedy (may he forever burn in hell), was prompted by a law passed in 2004 by the veto-proof majority-possessing Democratic legislature designed to prevent then-Governor Mitt Romney from appointing a Republican if John Kerry had won [...]

Scientific proof that game can save lives

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.18.2010

I Tweeted this in between swigs of Jack Daniels last night, but I realized it was too important to leave there. We now have evidence that sexual deprivation makes men irrationally violent: Any criminologist will confirm that the great bulk of crime in America is committed by unmarried young men. The best way to turn [...]

The history of the men’s rights movement, according to Fedrz

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.16.2010

A few days ago, Chuck, David Brandt, and I asked Fedrz to fill us in on the history of the men’s rights movement as he knew it. Here’s what he had to say: Well, I don’t know if I am perhaps the best guy to give a complete history of the MRM. I have only [...]

After 150 votes, she edged out Linda “Burning Passion” Pugach with 55 percent of the vote. Send her my congratulations…in the form of a [...]
