In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of word for the day. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the word of the day; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
schadenfreude \SHAHD-n-froy-duh\, noun:
1. A malicious satisfaction in the misfortunes of others.
If self-replicating e-commerce baby tycoons get on your nerves, it's schadenfreude time. It's true that the Nasdaq rebounded after its staggering loss Tuesday. Nonetheless, what AP described as "the most volatile day ever for U.S. stocks" left a distinctly bearish aftertaste.
--"Market Motion Sickness." The Industry Standard's Media Grok, April 5, 2000
Etymology: German, from Schaden, damage + Freude, joy. It is often capitalized, as it is in German.
TOPICS: Education; Humor; Poetry; Word For The Day

And now, a post-election word from Mr. Wayne Newton - LIVE from Las Vegas:
Schadenfreude, darlin' schadenfreude,
We just dumped two giant hemorrhoids...
Dan Rather seems terribly annoyed,
But, no more tears;
We've 4 more years
To enjoy that schadenfreude....
Hey...Grim stayed up all F'n night!! The complaint department is CLOSED.

skerry, terri and all
have taken the great fall.
It is with schadenfreude
that we gloat over floriduh.
Will skerry have any class?
- since Ohio gave him a pass?
And with soros/loserman redux,
it's time for Bush to press his tux.
While skerry plays a wienie,
we get for four more years of Bush and Cheney!

Thank you... but, you know, there is a downside to this...
The Breck Girl, now out of a cushy job, will have to go back to the courthouse and start screwing doctors again.

Please open your Hymnal and rise to sing... Schadenfreude, schadenfreude! We have won, the dems have lost!
Call your lawyers and the pundits, all your legal lies exhaust..
Count the fake votes in Ohio, drag your feet deny, delay-
Bush will still hold onto office at the closing of the day!
Schadenfreude, schadenfreude! earth and heaven rejoice today,
Babies yet conceived are smilling, let all red states sing with praise.
Kennedy, OConnor, Rhenquist, even Ginsburg out to grass,
Then with four young sane appointees, see what justice comes to pass!
Schadenfreude, schadenfreude! Can my cup be more than full?
Mary Frances Berry gone, at last some sanity will rule!
Which gives me more pleasure watching- Dan or Katie in the dumps?
No, I think its seeing little Tommy Dacschle take his lumps!
Amen
