The Federal Position I Want
For the last 20 years the feds have gone czar-happy. Just as every scandal must have -gate attached to it, any new overseer must be some kind of czar.
There is the drug czar who oversees the various fed offices dealing with narcotics. There's soon to be an energy czar overseeing energy programs; a health czar overseeing a possible fix of our damaged healthcare system; and my personal new favorite - passed by Congress just yesterday - a car czar to oversee the auto bailout loan program.
And now I'd like to suggest to President-Elect a new oversight overseer role that I would like to be considered for... In my new role of czar czar, I would be responsible for reporting to the president on the progress the other czars are making in their czardoms. (And yes, if as czar czar, I uncover a scandal within the office of the lesser czars, it would quickly be labeled "czargate".)
