How do you spell Kakistocracy?

Photos by Donald Norton and James Norton

Kakistocracy. Definition: government by the worst possible people. Origin: Greek. That was the word The Somerville News team lost on at Friday's Spelling Bee fundraiser for the Capuano School PTA. More than $3,000 was raised for the school during the event. Alderman-at-Large Dennis Sullivan's team won -- without Sullivan (we hear he was injured during the spelling of a particularly difficult word) and donated the winning prize money back to the school. Longtime Superintendant of Schools Albert Argenziano hosted and John Roderick handled pronouncing duties.

Isn't it ironic that the word "Kakistocracy" is the headline in the article, and the corresponding photo has the current school super at the podium? Government by the worst possible people, eh?
