‘Til The Czars Go Blue
By Mitch Berg
Mickey Kaus, on the proliferation of “czars” in the Obama Administration:
We need a Czar Czar, to crack the whip on all the czars. … P.S.: Also a federal czar policy. Right now, czar decisions are made on an ad hoc, case-by-case basis, with no attempt at czar harmonization.
Perhaps we need a standardized training program for czars, something to bring them up to speed on the history and power of the Czars.
Hm. What could that be? What indeed?

Just when I’m pretty sure you guys think I’m nuts for associating Obama’s anti-individual collectivist militarism with Mussolini’s anti-individual collectivist militarism, you guys march out the Obama Youth in their Blackshirts!

Who apppointed the very first Czar? Am I correct in thinking it was… Ronald Reagan?
Yeah, I think we have gone overboard on Czar’s too.

Better than, I believe, the UK where they had appointed folks to the office of Supremo. Transportation Supremo, I believe was one.
