Quotation of the Day for November 17, 2016



"But what we've learned so far about the least-experienced President-elect in history is as troubling and ominous as his critics have feared. The Greeks have a word for the emerging Trump Administration: kakistocracy. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as a "government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens." Webster's is simpler: "government by the worst people."

- Ryan Lizza, Washington correspondent for The New Yorker, in "Donald Trump's First, Alarming Week as President-Elect", November 16, 2016.
