In yesterday’s Righting email subject line, I misspelled democracy as demoncracy.  But maybe my subconscious mind was on to something.  Although there’s no such word in the dictionary, I’d define demoncracy as a system of government with a demon in charge. Right any bells? In case you’re wondering, I pronounce it duh-MOHN-cruh-see…PJ Media blasted Tucker Carlson’s blistering interview on his podcast yesterday with Sen.
