Is there any such thing? Let's investigate—for good or ill. A blog about fiction and literature, philosophy and theology, politics and law, science and culture, the environment and economics, and ethics and language, and any thing else that strikes our fancy. (Apologies to Bertrand Russell)

Schadenfreude
The word, ladies and gentlemen, is Schadenfreude. (And it has everything to do with the weeping and gnashing of teeth going on in the plutocrat party in power, and nothing to do with the poor exploited teenagers and the shotgun wedding they are going to have to endure unless McCain/Palin loses) Oh yes, the other word is 'narrative'—something we pay close attention to around these parts. And then there's 'cynical': important word that. (BTW: None of this makes any sense unless you click on the link above or here.)
Thus endeth the vocabulary lesson for the day. Good luck on the SAT.
