At least you could tell that Colon’s heart wasn’t in it when he bullshitted to the UN. Kinda like getting your favourite uncle to be in your “play” when you’re a little kid - he might be the CEO of a major corporation, but he’d stand up and pretend to die when you shot him with your golden sixshooter. That’s why he was your favourite nuncle.

Condy, on the other hand, truly believes the shit she spouts. You can see the light of faith in her dark, empty, soulless eyes… That’s why her trip to Europe (the “other” America) was soooo much fun to watch… Although, to be honest, it was hard to tell if it was her being naturally stupid, or professionally stupid!

Apparently I’m not a bastard. Scratch me, and I might attempt to hurt you, but as best I can tell, I didn’t get the bastard gene. My brother did, and according to my mother (rest her soul), my biological father authored the manual. I did get some other traits I could do without, but not that one.

Watching “Frontline” and listening to a replay of Colin Powell’s testimony to the UN. What a cowardly frontman for a gaggle of bastards, including America’s premier black female bastard, also known as the Imelda of the Bush administration.

Oh, to be fair, too many people assume that there’s something inherently wrong with being a bastard. This is simply not so. Some strains are even quite personable, such as the magnificent bastard (Illegitemus Magnum).

Thompson - my point exactly. We may be upholstered bastards, but we are bastards nonetheless. I majored in Lazy Bastardry, Summa Cum Sal, to add to my Cheeky Bastard bloodline. (Plus, I’m adopted and my biological father has never been identified, so I’ve even got some pure bastard in me… is ‘pure bastard’ an oxymoron?)

Ann, I’m sure that a non-bastard male is out there somewhere, in fact he must exist or we lesser bastards have nothing to strive for… it’s just that I’ve never met one. And you’re right, I stuck my bloody hand up first.

Everyone, please note that I was not the one who introduced the concept of “bastard” to this thread. I categorically reject the notion that all men are bastards. But if a man says it about himself–Pete, Thompson, I’m talking to you–I never argue with him.
And yes, women can exhibit bastardliness. I’m just not romantically susceptible to them.

Absolutely, Pete. I shall argue the point. I am not a bastard. In any way, shape, or form. Nosiree, uh-uh, no, nay, never, no more.

-sigh- Okay, I’m a -lying- bastard–a particular subspecies of bastard. Others varieties include the rat bastard and the raging bastard.

However, I would like to maintain that bastardliness is not limited to the male gender. Many of my female friends are proud to say they had their sneaky bastard credentials conferred on them by me after a particularly amusing pub story, back in the days when I was still certifying.

Ohhhhh… a Felberpalooza!! I allus’ wanted one of them… I’m located at the back of the little world globe icon thingummybob you see in Windoze. (Don’t know what hemisphere Macs show, but I’m guessing Orstralia ain’t there). So, maybe, X marks the spot —> X ? Or is X just the unknown quantity?

Ann - it’s not just the Irish, or Scots, or any Celts per se : all men are bastards. I know - I are one.
(OK, OK, some are just little itty-bitty bastards, but scratch a man, you’ll see bastard shining through). ‘Course, it could just be me… Any ~~bastards~~men wanna argue the point? (tee hee hee)
