Bullitt County Sheriff fires second in command

"Bread and circuses" (or bread and games) began as a superficial means of appeasement. In the case of politics, the phrase is used to describe the generation of public approval, not through exemplary or excellent public service or public policy, but through diversion; distraction; or the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow requirements of a populace. Its originator, Juvenal, used the phrase to decry the selfishness of common people and their neglect of wider concerns.

Juvenal here makes reference to the Roman practice of providing free wheat to Roman citizens as well as costly circus games and other forms of entertainment as a means of gaining political power.
