Schadenfreude
While that word was invented by the Germans to describe the pleasure they experienced in observing the misfortunes of teh French, I think that many Americans have shared that pleasure in hearing that Martha Stewart has been found guilty of obstructing justice and lying to the government about why she unloaded her ImClone stock just before the price plummeted. Me, I will miss her warm presence on the airwaves, and her helpful tips which might (if I applied myself diligently) make me almost as good as her.
I wonder what tips she could come up with for celebrating a fine and gracious prison Christmas when constrained by a nine by nine cell.
