Isn't that why we love her?? :-)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I would say she's never inappropriate.... :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :-)

Yes, schadenfreude is always inappropriate and insensitive. However, freudenschade is one of earth's finest delights. It will be especially fabulous in November if (when) the Obamessiah goes down in flames, insh'alla.

One more word on freudenschade. If you want to really enjoy Election Day, you should register your mole at DU now, if you don't already have one. On general election evenings, DU is usually closed to non-members. When they start to really howl, scream, rend their clothes, and self-flagellate, Skinner gets embarrassed and shields the site from public view.  DU's General Discussion forum, on the evening John Ef'n (D-Hanoi) went down in flames, was one of the most entertaining and fascinating events I've ever attended. I'm sure some here still have screen caps. It was open to members only until sometime the next day, so you missed it if you couldn't sign on with a mole. This year will be even better, allah willing.

They have no sense of humor over there.

Good thing I have found a place whose very essence requires a sense of humor :)

 :cheersmate:  thats what you get for thinking for yourself and not joining the marching morons (aside "The Marching Morons", excellent SciFi novella by C.M. Kornbluth). Personally I have always enjoyed a good dose of schadenfreude.
I think I will wallow in schadenfreude on election night as my farewell to DU. I am avoiding the place so I don't get tombstoned till then.
