    Rushlimbacracy- a country run by fat vicodin addled loudmouths.
    Dragoligarchy- They're queens so leading would come naturally to them.
    Opracracy- it's already happened.

    I may have made it up but she is living it. She doesn't need an official office because she already rules the country and dictates taste to every housewife with a minivan.
    Pick a topic and she has tackled it, filed it away and moved on to the next one. I wish she would have the octomommy on because she would decimate her for her actions. Gotta respect the Oprah.
