As concerns mount about the presence of Asian carp near Lake Michigan, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin today urged President Obama to appoint a carp czar to oversee efforts to keep the invasive species out of the Great Lakes.
"We need to have one person who coordinates the efforts of the federal, state and local agencies that are doing everything they can to keep the Asian carp out of Lake Michigan," Durbin said during a news conference at the Shedd Aquarium. "We believe it's absolutely essential."

Czars for all! Up next - a Nutritional Choices Czar who can oversee your family's weekly shopping list. A Personal Fuel Consumption Czar to cut down on those unnecessary trips. And a Weapons Czar to ensure you don't own too many ANY guns.

Why do you need a Czar when the simple solution is to let everyone go fishing and offer a bounty for each carp caught.

As a carp myself, I object to all of this carping. And to the czars, for that matter.

Obama has already appointed one of his marxist buddies to the position of great lakes czar.
He gave Cameron Davis a title and 20 billion dollars and we haven’t heard from him since.

How about a czar to keep invasive, destructive species out of the “People’s House” and senate and congress?

TOO SIMPLISTIC. Such a plan would not require the Fed Gumint to expand and grow to fill every nick and crack - the goal of the MARXISTS now running things in the District of Corruption.
