Sometimes I think Reason does posts on Russia just for the ads that get generated. (And if so, I appreciate it.)

Work with me here, people:

If its a federal bureaucrat, the preferred term isn't "czar", its "tard".

Our relations with Moscow could be better. Maybe we need a Russian czar.

What percentage of these, like the drug czar, were created well before the Obama administration?
