  'Kakistocracy' is Here!
Austin, TX (PRWEB) October 20, 2006 -- "Kakistocracy" (rhymes with "democracy" -- means government by the most corrupt and incompetent)is an Americana CD that surveys an America gone wrong.
While the songs are anti-Iraq War and anti-Bush, they move beyond ad hominem attacks to take aim at the moral fog of an America that gave rise to W and his War.
"Kakistocracy" is the first release of the revitalized label and is distributed by Burnside Distribution; the album is available digitally on I-Tunes and other digital music stores.

 Music Review: The Spicewood Seven - Kakistocracy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Questioning Authority is the theme of Kakistocracy, a new liberal-oriented country-rock CD by The Spicewood Seven released by Austin Records.
Kakistocracy is defined as 'Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.' One could certainly make a strong case that the governance of America is now in the hands of such people.
The liner notes say this song was inspired by a real-life event which was also the inspiration for Kakistocracy's cover art.

 The Spicewood Seven: Kakistocracy
Although it sounds like a frat-boy joke playing off the earthier associations of the Greek word "kakistos," or "the worst," Kakistocracy is an actual word, meaning "government by the incompetent and corrupt." Boy, what an on-the-nose title for an album released by an American band in 2006, huh?
The songs aren't all directly related to the Iraq War and other examples of government malfeasance; songs like "Crystal Time" (a raving first-person account of the scourge of methamphetamine on rural America) and "Chinese Murder Mystery" are less accusatory, but amplify and deepen the anger and sorrow at the album's heart.
Kakistocracy is by no means an easy listen, and just the sight of it will make the average Fox News viewer's head explode, but for all of those who have been complaining that there's no protest music coming in response to this war like there was to Vietnam...well, here it is.

 The kakistocracy: Government by the most unprincipled citizens [Iran]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
By now, its true nature has become crystal clear--even to the most gullible of the bunch: they are a ruling clerical clan without the ability to run a country and the intellectual acumen to learn from their mistakes, as if twenty five years has not been enough time!
To top the disaster, the kakistocracy (government by the most unprincipled citizens) is corrupt to the core, way down to the sub-particle level of the core; they seem to be least concerned about the damage their behavior is causing Islam, the religion they use as the vehicle for their crime.
One can be coy or try to put on a brave face or even drag out historical wrap-sheet of other faiths, but at the end of the day, it is the height of the embarrassing admission that, thanks to their misdeeds, Islam is now equated with barbarity, backwardness, fratricide and terrorism.

While Gore did himself no favors—running away from Clinton, picking a running mate who looked and campaigned like he had a used tampon in his mouth—it's the Nader voters that are most responsible for inflicting the Bush kakistocracy on their fellow Americans.
Any man fool enough to vote for Nader this time around deserves to have his virilia sliced off and stuffed down his fool throat; any woman who votes for Nader deserves to have the reputation of a disease-ridden lovertine.
The words were: esprise (to inflame someone's passion), lovertine (someone addicted to lovemaking), virilia (male sexual organs), and my personal favorite, kakistocracy (a society governed by its worst citizens).

While thinking about students, the political process, and our role as educators, I recently heard a word on National Public Radio (NPR): kakistocracy, government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.
It immediately struck me that this describes what could happen if college and university students do not become active participants in the political process by exercising their right to vote.
