got this on an email today - love it
ineptocracy (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.

That's a bit redundant, don't you think? Maybe even a bit
sesquipedalian, when the words "stoopid gummint" work just as well.

The movie "Idiocracy" used to be funny.
As its absurd premises start looking more like reality, its not as chuckle worthy anymore.
From congress critters during the SOPA mess proudly proclaiming "I'm not a tech nerd", then proceeding to state why they're qualified to pass legislation on the internet, to our favorite congress critters telling reporters than a barrel shroud is a "shoulder thing that goes up", to the esteemed congress critter who was worried if we stationed any more US troops on Guam we might TIP THE ISLAND OVER.....we are governed by morons. Idiots. Fools.
And they can pass laws. If we lowly peons decide a law is ridiculous or insane, we can be put in jail for not following it.
The mere fact that congress critters can PROUDLY proclaim their ignorance and get reelected is a sign we are in very very deep trouble.

Actually "stoopid gummint" is redundant also.
