Amazon Filler Item Finder
If you're like me and use Amazon but are too
Certain items at Amazon.com qualify for free shipping, but sometimes the purchase falls short of the minimum $35 needed to receive the free shipping. Enter the amount you need to see a list of products that qualify for free shipping.
According to the creator of this script, the site has been up for 6+ yrs. and mentioned in several other websites. (but I hadn't heard of it before). It's a brilliant concept and even though I didn't find anything I wanted for the $8.51 worth of items I currently need in my Amazon cart to get free shipping, I bookmarked it and imagine I will use it again in the future for suggestions to bring my total up to $35 to get the free shipping. I also again might not use any of the suggestions, but it doesn't take but a few seconds and you never know!
What's really ingenious is that each result is basically an "affiliate link" where the site owner makes a small commission on each sale for the referral. Clever, and I wish I had thought of it. (or at least been smart enough to write the script)

kakistocracy
kakistocracy noun [kak-uh-stok-ruh-see]
A form of government in which the worst persons are in power.
I was unfamiliar with this word, but definitely familiar with the definition. To paraphrase the Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart in a 60's obscenity case: "I may not know how to define it, but I know it when I see it."
