4 days of schadenfreude

Schadenfreude -- taking pleasure in the misfortune of others -- is a seduction I try to resist. But the last few days have just been overwhelming:

• George Bush's approval rating reached a new all-time low.
• Tom Cruise's new idiot action film got poor box office its opening weekend, apparently because much of his audience has finally figured out that he's total jerk.
• Yet another Kennedy brat was caught believing the rules don't apply to him.

Tomorrow, if Jane Fonda or James Dobson gets hit by a bus, I will be in a complete meltdown of guilty extasy.
