A wise man once opined, “Schadenfreude is a base and ugly emotion, and one can’t help wondering what Thomas Aquinas, for example, would have made of it.”

I have had a schadenboner since 1/20/17! Thing can cut glass!

A reader of National Review once commented that the concept of Schadenfreude was a particularly Germanic phenomenon, and asked William F. Buckley whether there was a comparable phrase/philosophy in French.
Buckley’s reply was, “Joie de vivre.”

Those are good, but nothing can compare to those compilations of the libs the night HRC lost, and nothing probably ever will. I still bring one or another up and watch it every now and then.
One can still get a Chocolate malted at Michael’s Dairy Ocean Ave, New London, Ct. Yes the ice cream is made on site. None. Better. And I make my own ice cream. Unfortunately we’re awash in libprogs. My change up malted is a Banana shake with a real Banana blended in. Makes me feel like I’m 8 yrs. old again.
After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Who says there’s no good news?

Day Lewis was brilliant in that movie, as he tended to be. The milkshake in question had bourbon in it, so there is that.
