I've coined a word.

Coprocracy. Rule by human excrement.

(Okay, a Google search shows that someone named Koster beat me to it.)

I didn't need a majority vote to further my faith in human stupidity.

I really didn't.

(BTW, does anyone have an idea of whether voter suppression and/or election fraud could have accounted for Bush's 2.7% lead (as of this post) in Ohio?)

Ordinarily, I wouldn't waste your time and mine by posting what we're all thinking. But I had to share the word "coprocracy".

Edit: Ah, so Ohio was using Diebold machines. How widespread were they? The answer to that will affect whether I start referring to Bush as the president.

Edit edit: It's not just Diebold in on this. Kerry seems to have won the popular vote in Florida and Ohio; just not the electronically counted (official) vote. Hence, Bush retains his title of "Dirtbag". (This is merely my extrapolation from the data available (once I found relevant data - it took a while). I have no privileged information.)

Yes, I quite like the word "kakistocracy," and almost posted as an excuse to use it instead of my word.

In fact, I hereby encourage others to do so. This is our best opportunity to spread the word (so to speak).
