While I was browsing blogs, I came across this word:
INEPTOCRACY
All I could think of was Wow! I have a new word, and I really like it! so I went to my favorite dictionary site, www.onelook.com, and searched for it - found it at Word Spy - dictionary of new words - and this is the definition they give it:
n. A government or state ruled by people who are incompetent. Also: inept-ocracy.
Does this describe the state of Washington DC, along with many state/local governments? Its seems the idiots rise to the top - the most ruthless idiots at that. The ones that think they know best how YOU should live, behave, whatever, and want to form you into what they think is best for you.
Bloviating Zeppelin (found over on the right-hand side!) has this definition over at his blog:
(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
Which brings us to the vidshizzle of the week:
I see commercials for these "obama free phones" on TV.. yep, your tax dollars.. going to spread the wealth some more, take from your pocket to give some fool low-cost text & web on a FREE phone. No one seems to understand that FREE means *someone else* paid for that free thing.
I'm tired of people sticking their hands out for something *free*...even if it's just picking up trash, or shredding paper, everyone can do *something* for the money they get.

ReplyDeleteNow THAT is EPIC!
I have now ADDED the word INEPTOCRACY to my lexicon (with props to YOU).
Now, would that mean that the POLICY of an INEPTOCRACY would be nothing short of ASSHATERY?
Glad you showed the obamaphone lady (like I also did)...she is SO like all my "neighbors".
Gimme, gimme, gimme...and do NOTHING for ANY of it.
That's NOT AMERICAN..sorry, folks.
(but if they WOULD pick up THEIR TRASH they leave all over, THAT would be a good start)
Excellent post.
Stay safe down there.
but picking up trash involves that four-letter word called "work", and somehow it's something horrible!
ReplyDeleteThe "gimme"s of this country, is spreading - kids today feel they are 'entitled' to whatever, merely because they ARE. When I was growing up, once I hit 14, I got a job shoveling manure at a barnyard, because mom said "either you get the clothes I pick out for you, or you get a job and buy your own". I was all for shopping in the store that carried Levis, she was more a Sears and JC Penney person. So I got a job, and bought my own clothes.
My youngest is in college every afternoon, she is interviewing for a job in the mornings at a local fast-food joint. Why? she needs the gas money, and money doesn't grow on trees.
