Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Come the Revolution!

Russia had one Czar.  Thanks to President Obama, otherwise known as god to his zealots, the United States now has 44, and more to come.  They don’t all have the official title of “Czar” but are created lords over vast swaths of territory and peasants, er citizens and non.  President Obama is sending his minions to remake the United States in an image that is not the one still held by most.  My friend Terresa Monroe-Hamilton at her blog Noisyroom just updated the list.  Read and weep, or revolt.  (Updated again here.)

BD: Actually, it's a house of cards that O, the Won, is making of America. Lose interest and lose US.

So does the Prez have anything to decide - or to do - after all this?
#2.1 Bird Dog on 2009-07-22 20:02 (Reply)
The O, the Won, and the small cabal of determined extremists around him set the direction, and the Czar minions impose it on the peasants.

Very depressing, I would like to know how much all these Czars are costing us in salary, benefits and retirement.

I'd like to know if any of them have valid jobs meeting Constitutional duties of the federal government.

Who's the Tampon Dispenser in Interstate Rest Areas Czar?

I think this concatenation of fools will self-destruct eventually. Obama will have to approve anything they do - he likes his power - and the czars will fume and fight at endless delays. With their idiot title, Czar, they each probably think they have great powers. Once they realize they don't, maybe they'll revolt and turncoat.

You say you want a revoluuuution....... Piss off some Czars.
