Or that the USSR hasn’t existed since 1991.
Or Russian Czars since 1917, when they were eliminated by the Communists. That’s right! Czars were actually anti-Communist! tea party head asplodes
Wouldn’t it be more likely to cave in?
The “czar” thing is really one of the stupidest things I have ever heard righties complain about. Does it gain traction with them simply because they think foreign sounding=bad or what?
Short answer – yes.
Plus their incredibly short memory helps them forget that GOP presidents have “czars” too. Or is it simply ignorance?
I’m wondering if it’s a combo of foreign=bad and also, all government is bad so someone actually being in charge of something is also bad, in other words it offends starve the beasters.
That, plus it also sounds unaccountable. “Executive Director of Energy Resources Council” is just another harmless bureaucrat. But “Energy Czar” makes it sound like he’s running amok, spending taxpayer money like water on vodka and caviar, accountable to no one, subject only to the whims of the president and thumbing his nose at Congress.
What if the government incorporated itself with a four year corporate charter and declared itself as its own major shareholders?
That way they could do whatever they hell they wanted to line their pockets and the Republicans could only applaud them…
Well, it would of course depend on whether he created jobs. And by creating jobs I of course mean offshoring all of the Treasury in a Caïman Island bank and offsourcing Congress to Viet-Nam because they law you long time at 5 cents a bill.

I think I heard that for the first and only time in 1963. Funny what one remembers.

That bill allows parents to sue. Presumably if their kid somehow finds out too much in sex ed.
That isn’t very GOP-like. Whatever happened to torte reform and stopping nusiance lawsuits that are making all the crooked lawyers rich? I guess it’s OK when you sue for something important(like excess knowledge), unlike say, equal pay for equal work.
Makes you wonder what they got up to in their younger years that they feel they have to pass laws discouraging it.
Or maybe it’s jealousy of what they didn’t get up to …
Tennessee probably should ban baseball broadcasts as well.
Yep. Precisely why Pete Hoekstra (of the “China Girl” political ad fame) says the Lily Ledbetter Act is a “nuisance” law.
I’m waiting for the laws establishing a curfew for everyone under 70 and requiring everyone to wear an onion on their belt.
People Voted for Barrack, not Michelle.
I believe appointing the wifey is wrong.
Did you just awake from a cryogenic sleep?
Well that was the style in those days, but today’s young’uns have an entirely different array of fashion statements, like the notion that their waist line is midway between their knees and their nuts.
You’d do far better if you actually knew what you’re talking about. You might want to consider that advice as applying to your thread about Romney also.
