13. "Schadenfreude" the literal translation is
schaden = injury or damage

freude = joy

I would have to say, yes, I'm enjoying these past two weeks immensely. Actually, ever since the Niger uranium incident moved west across the Atlantic from the UK, my 'schadenfreude' level has been steadily moving up. From 3....to 5.....to 9....and with the Limburger story, ...10!

It feels great. Not that we DU:ers had anything to do with it. We've been more or less on the sidelines, unwilling witnesses to these Keystone antics which they have brought on themselves.

So - keep going guys. I'm enjoying this.
