ok, for this to be a true ‘WOTD’ entry i would’ve had to have included at least one word sometime in the history of this almost-blog. maybe i’ll start with regular blog entries and work my way up to vocab.

but, be that as it may, i have a word for you, inspired by the reagan/bush/clinton/bush administrations (and doubtless countless administrations before them - the aforementioned are just the only ones where i was old enough to be paying attention, excluding Carter):

Prestigovernmentation - \ pres-tə-,ˈgə-vər(n)-mən-ˈtā-shən \,
noun: The act of governing by sleight of hand.

i’ll explain this later, if necessary.
