“...to save this nation from the Oligarhy of The Stupid.

I keep wondering if somewhere somebody named Ollie Garhey thinks he’s in charge now. Or, even more entertainingly and societally satisfying, if somebody named Ali Garhi does.”

Uh, Keith, it’s oligarchy. As in “arch,” Greek for “ruler” or “leader”. As in the archons of ancient Athens, for instance Pericles.

Actually, “arch” would be Greek for “rule,” not “ruler,” which would be something like “arches” or “archos”.
