    The Obama administration is a bunch of czarfuckers. There, i said it.

    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".

  4. DM   17 years ago

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

  5. Lamar   17 years ago

    We need a czar czar.

  6. Mo   17 years ago

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

  7. Nicholas Romanov, II   17 years ago

    "We need a czar czar.'

    I'm available. Will work for food!

  9. monkey on juice   17 years ago

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