Maybe *I* should apply for that job the White House can't seen to fill.

[Stinky The Clown]

That 'War Czar/Tsar' thing. How bad a gig can it be? I mean, I'd get to slap around the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense. I might even be able to poke Cheney a time or three. And that Dana Perino? I'd *own* her. She'd be my puppet on a string.

It'd be a cool job, too. Since they're desperate to get the job filled, I can bargain on the front end to get what I want. Which is, essentially a 'butt the fuck out' to everyone currently working in the administration.

Then, after the make my appointment, I can implement my own plan ..... 150,000 one way tickets on Air Evacuate.

1. you oughta send that to Jon Stewart

Or Cafferty or someone. Truly.

2. I really don't like the term Czar. It used to be what the Russians

called their emperor, an absolute dictator who was believed to be a god. It comes from Caesar and the Roman emperors, who also were absolute dictators and worshipped as gods. I'm glad that no one is going for this. It indicates the Bushistas have gone to far even within their party and no one wants to enable them anymore.

3. I noticed that, in the last 6 years we have started to use that term..

Drug Czar, War Czar, Homeland Security Czar, etc. Its like 1920s Russia...

5. It's been around longer than six years.

The job of "drug czar" (and that nickname) was created in 1988. It was a Reagan thing, not a Bush thing.

[mentalsolstice]

13. If it was a Reagan thing...

...then it really was a Bush thing. Reagan was actor/puppet, even back then the Bushies were writing the scripts/pulling strings.

4. I like the cut of your jib, H2S.it could be a fun job for awhile.

To add, I hope a jib is complimentary., since I have no idea what one is.

[Stinky The Clown]

6. My jib's fine, but after six years, my mains'l seems to be luffing badly

(Yes, its complimentary :) )

7. With all due respect, I have first dibs on the job. Will take me one week to clean it all up.

Send planes, troops come home.

Shrub will fire me.

Then you can have it for the next week. :)

9. Hey ... did you miss the part at the end of the OP ..... about the 150,000 one way tickets on ....

.... Air Evacuate?

That plan gets implemented the minute I get sworn in. :)

[cassiepriam]

12. Yep, that is my plan too. Going to send every boat, ship, plane in the US fleet

to go pick up all soldiers, my first day on the job.

We have to do it fast. When Lord Pissypants finds out, he will have
a big old tantrum. He will have to play with his GI Joe set from
now on, no more live soldiers.
