How about variations on "insufficient" or "lacking"? Perhaps not quite as harsh as inadequate?
I like insufficient. There's a monetary aspect, so it works well there as well.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My Aunties took me out today for a wonderful post-wedding champagne lunch! I wonder just how long I can stretch out the wedding celebrations?
Yay, Daniel!
Teppy, I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time of it lately. Please don't feel badly about talking about it here.

“Not dead yet!”
Breaking news is reporting that Elizabeth Edwards died today.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Breaking news is reporting that Elizabeth Edwards died today.
Oh, no. That's horrible. I actually like her.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just saw a headline yesterday saying doctors had given her "weeks" to live.

“Not dead yet!”
They basically said treatment couldn't do any more for her.
Fuck cancer. Again.

Yeah, she just stopped her treatment yesterday! That's sad.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, that's a shame. I heard yesterday's news but not today's.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Elizabeth. So sad. So sorry your husband was an unfaithful douche who lacked follow-through on, uh, everything.
Ayup. (My feelings towards that film can best be summed up as "STAB STAB STABBY HATE STAB")
My eyes rolled on every storyline. It's like ten crappy romcoms jammed into one. A veritable cliche smorgasbord. I do like the little girl's version of "All I Want for Xmas is You." As much as I adore Rickman the actor, I wanted to punch his character in the face. Twice.
OMG, y'all. Two solid days of interviewing candidates for the next round. I am wiped and exasperated with my coworker. And one guy today, who just found out he got another woman pregnant, tried to blame it on the girl. OH NO SIR. I read him the fucking riot act. You got one kid with one woman, you damn sure know the consequences of your actions, and you better fucking take responsibilty for them.
Ahem.
