Word of the Day

[cormac]

Well...honestly it's the word of the next four yesrs, but what the hell - when you find such clever and appropriate vocabulary, you have to share it. So:

Kakistocracy (n.) 1. The government of a state by the worst citizens.(Oxford English Dictionary) 2. Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.(American Heritage Dictionary)

Hmmm, which might be applicable to a society ruled by the guy who beats up all opponants with a big stick... I'm cynical too, on many levels.

Good word, I'll have to remember it. Is it [kae ki stok] or [kak i stok]?

Excuse me now, I have to go argue with a sorta-troll at liberal

I believe kak-i-stok is correct.
