I don't know if this is going to pass posting rule muster, but its just so darn good and germaine:
Adios!!!!
I don’t know how to translate schadenfraude, but I’m feeling it right now.
Good re the Sch============. I can’t spell it but I’m feeling it right now.
LOVE IT — LOVE IT ALL! WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, BUT OUR WORK IS NOT DONE, WE MUST STAY VIGILANT BECAUSE LIKE KENNEDY SAID, THIS ISSUE IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY. NEXT WE NEED TO WORK ON The Secure Borders FIRST Act of 2007, sponsored by Congressmen Peter King and Lamar Smith to fix the problems we already have! Keep on it folks! We can do this!!!
Simple. If you are finding pleasure in someone else’s pain, you are experiencing schadenfraude.
As Martha might say, It’s a good thing!
schadenfreude = taking pleasure from someone else’s misfortune.
Schadenfreude - the feeling of joy over a sadness.
Schaden is misfortune or sadness.
Freude is joy.
Or, literally, Sadness joy.
Thanks for all the good translating help. I’d like to say, I’m only gloating because these people have been so horribly arrogant and insulting. Otherwise, I would be ashamed to feel joy at someone else’s misfortune. In this case, it just seems like perfect justice.
The black congressits who voted for this bill may pay for that vote as their black voters start saying hell no.
Pawned B$tches is very appropriate.
Anyone seen a photo of Reid? I hear he was near meltdown.

Actually there may be a faster way. Green Bay, Wisconsin might be the leader in reversing this bs:

Green Bay, WI Starts fight agianst Illegals

Green Bay bans hiring of illegal immigrants
Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Any business hiring illegal immigrants could have its licenses, contracts and other grants from the city taken away under an ordinance passed Tuesday night.
The ordinance was approved, 9-2, by the City Council and is due to take effect this weekend after the official notice is published.
Opponents contended the proposal would be unenforceable, inhumane and mean-spirited and would only add to the area’s labor shortage.
But advocates for the ordinance said it was needed because ignoring illegal immigration trivializes the hardships endured by legal immigrants. They argued that businesses hiring illegal workers should be punished.
Alderman Tom Weber, who supported the ordinance since it was first proposed, said he first assumed it would be symbolic but now he feels it could be enforced.
“I don’t think there’s a game plan out there to go out and start knocking on doors and going into back rooms and things of that nature. I think when the obvious situation comes to bear, we’re going to know it,” he said. “Then we’ll address it, but there’s no witch hunt going on here.”
Alderman Jerry Wiezbiskie, who opposed the ordinance, said proving a violation would require getting “a federal determination of an alien’s unlawful status.”
“Regreso” should be “Regresa” or “Regresan.” As worded, it says, “I return to Mexico.” If this is your image then you might want to consider photoshopping it. “Regresa” means, “Return to Mexico” in the “You” form.
I've heard of schadenfreude. Maybe the fraude is pretending to take pleasure in another's misfortune.
Hmmmm... I am not so quick as to write this off. Doesn't this no cloture vote just allow debate. It doesn't actually kill the bill. I believe debate will continue and they may yet try to pass it.
Also, I don't see the misfortune in it for Kennedy and these traitors. Yes, they've been dealt a blow but the fight will go on.
The only victory is that SOME Senators listened to their constituents. The arrogance continues from the rest and from the White House.

Hey, great work, but I can’t take credit for the grammar: got it right off yahoo news photos.
Thanks anyhoo.
I saw that on CNN.com earlier today!
Kennedy: “Oh no...! Not this sh*t again!”
Nothing like seeing Kennedy sober and drunk enough at the same time to feel the pain of defeat.
You may be right, but its good to savor the moment, for whatever its worth. I think your best point is that this is just one battle in a long war to defeat the corruption, the greed, the arrogance and the cowardice that now prevails in Washington, on BOTH sides of the aisle.
How about the command forms—”regrese” or “regresen”? Don’t want to leave a shadow of a doubt, you know.
That’s gotta be the best post of the day!!!!
Sorry about the double post.
FR is really slow and burpy today. Internet connection is apparently sending double messages while FR slowly burps and chews on the first one.
Then the "Immigration and Customs Enforcement Port of Entry" better photoshop the photo and correct the sign because it is grammatically "el wrongo," ( to steal a phrase from Archie Bunker. ) :-)
The guy who painted the sign must have been an immigrant from yet some other country. ROFL
Ahhhh, Schadenfraude .... what a great feeling.
There is a lot of great talent on FR, and I will borrow, er, steal the good stuff and combine them into a little story line.
If more cities like Green Bay make hiring of illegals an illegal act, this may end up like a big replay of the Boston Tea Party.
You are correct. Have to include all possibilities so that there is no doubt.
"The payoff money is in our refrigerators. The Bill MUST pass."
You are correct, this bill will be brought to the Floor again, but no matter when, cloture will once again be required in order for the actual vote-to-pass.
And even should the Senate pass it, that still does not guarantee success in the House, nor does it negate the requirement of Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution.
Isn’t the guy on the far left Los Angeles’ Mayor Reconquista?
We talked about that this morning. If employers hire illegals...send the illegals back and jail the employer. Plain and simple. Down and dirty. No brainer!!!
You may be right.
I barely know what the left wing pervert mayor of Gay Frisco looks like.
Maybe you have discovered the real problem. All our government signs and forms are misspelled/mistranslated into spanish. All the mexicans are confused.
Wonder what OTHER government documents have incorrect spanish wording?
If corporations hire them, go up the ladder to the highest official in on the criminal act. Those lower on the pay scale can cop a plea and avoid jail time if they resign and pick up trash in illegal alien areas for a year or so.
you said it!
Right now I am feeling Sadistic. Tee-hee-hee and TS Teddy.
You are right. It usually just takes longer that way.
A good confession with witnesses at the police station could be a real fast PIA for those responsible hiring illegals.
I don’t know about that.... maybe he’d be the perfect one to drive the “touch back” train ;-)
Crap, I’ll probably get banned for that.
You’re absolutely correct. This is only one battle won.
What We have at this moment is still the Status Quo.
Keep calling and faxing to demand border security and current laws enforced. Otherwise, I fear there will be a *no-enforcement* backlash.
The President and the other supporters of this bill will be angry and willing to take it out on us.
Yes, that is what I was trying to convey! The sign should read "REGRESE A MÉXICO!" in big caps or as you say, "GET THE F&CK OUT!"
The only problem with saying it in American English is that the American slang would be lost on the invaders.
ROFL
