    I've always worried about the potential for a person being put in a position of power with assumed credentials that are not really either what they are claiming or are simply too out of date to warrant the position, with nobody really being on top of the knowledge tree & knowing enough to judge the situation. How to judge if you are too ignorant to know you are ignorant ? Scary !

    Don't call them a czar

    Whatever you do just don't call them a "czar"... it is a tired over used term... much like "new normal" or "ground zero"... can we move away from silly buzz words especially titles that do not make sense at all. Aside from the mere fact we spell it incorrectly in the first place.

    Czar = an emperor of Russia before 1917. For Example: "the assassination of the tsar and his family"

    And below a new definition created because of a our (US) overuse of the term.

    Czar - a person appointed by government to advise on and coordinate policy in a particular area. For Example: "America's new drug czar"

    Joke

    Long time from now, in a place very far, in the court of a castle, on a star a mad jester tunes, his fiery guitar, and with a grin he says to the Czar:

    I'm gonna sing you a Ancient tune "Look out pa! There's monkeys on the moon!"
