I came across this story on yahoonews, about the plan to appoint a Car Czar to oversee the auto industry bailout.
Congress, White House push to finish auto aid plan - Yahoo! News

I guess the bright side of this recession is that all the lost manufacturing jobs are being made up for in Czar jobs. Seriously-- How do you get appointed Czar (besides being born into a Slavic royal family)? Can I go back to school and major in Czaring? Because we've got more Czars now than a carpeted men's room has funny smells.

The real question I have though, is an appropriate one when you consider the excitement behind the new Watchmen movie. Namely, who watches the watchmen? Or who czars the czars? If these guys have such absolute power in overseeing billion-dollar bailouts, who oversees them?

The obvious answer, of course, is a Czar Czar. Which sounds uncomfortably close to the name of a certain Nabooian fish-tard.
