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.

Now that everything's pretty much said & done, there are a couple of questions I'd like to ask:
1. (Still) Senator Kerry, now that the contest is behind you and in the best interests of the nation, will you finally reveal your "better" plans to President Bush and the American people so that we can all benefit and become safer and more secure?
2. Senator Clinton, given that President Bush drew a clear majority in the popular vote this (and the greatest amount ever tabulated), will you reiterate your call from the 2000 campaign to do away with the Electoral College??
