Word of the Day
kakistocracy (n)
Government by the worst, least qualified or most unprincipled.
"Is ours a government of the people, by the people, for the people, or a kakistocracy rather, for the benefit of knaves at the cost of fools?" --OED, 1876
Postscript: I e-mailed this to Janeane Garofalo and she read it on her radio show!
