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."

I would think “dead fish” Emanuel would be a natural for carp czar.

Durbin should ask “Where the hell is the great lakes czar and our $25 billion?”.

I’m no fisherman. Why is it important to keep this fish out of Lake Michigan?

Durbin could himself serve as “Crap Czar”, as few are more full of it than he.

The American People need to appoint an impeachment Czar.

Durbin said he plans to introduce a bill next week that will ask the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to look at "hydrologic separation" between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, a potentially massive engineering feat that would require severing the 100-year-old, man-made shipping corridors that now link the two waterways.Durbin expects the Army Corps to deliver its report within 18 months.

WoW government moving as slow as possible again.

They obviously have someone they need to pay off for silence in the Blago trial.

Whoever is appointed will most likely be a suddenly forgetful witness, or have close ties to one.

BIG government vs. BIG fish. What’s the difference between a czar and a carp? One’s a scum-sucking bottom-feeding collectivist and the other’s a fish.

There s something fishy about his Biggirl! Remember, there is no crisis that will go unexploited.Expanding fascist power is the name of the game.

Watch for the government to intervene and mistakenly release millions of carp into the Great Lakes....Oooooops!

Why is it important to keep this fish out of Lake Michigan?

Because it's a rapidly breeding invasive species which isn't native to the US, let alone the Great Lakes. It's a voracious eater which strips the food chain so that native species starve out.

It's a real problem and one we don't have a handle on.

However the last thing we need is another 'czar' to deal with it. Illinois DNR could take care of it if they didn't have to deal with multiple layers of Federal bureaucrats.

The Asian carp have ravenous appetites, have no natural predators, and have high reproduction rates. (probably due to the ravenous appetites, but I digress)

Their habits will destroy the Great Lakes ecosystem because other creatures will starve.

That's sort of it in a nutshell.

And why is that important? What happened to evolution and all that? Survival of the fittest and what not? Change is good, right? Hope and Change? After all, they're just looking for a better life.

Maybe the Asians will be the new native species.
