White House Names Asian Carp Czar (Not a joke!)
http://blogs.laweekly.com/squidink/fish/asian-carp-czar-named/ ^

We have drug czars, energy czars, actual Russian czars (well, we used to), and -- perhaps a mark that we maybe need a nomenclature czar -- we now have an Asian carp czar.

I’m lining up for the Porgy Czar position. It’s a lesser position than Carp Czar, but bigger than Guppy Czar. The least desirable of all is Krill Czar, although the title sounds impressive (likely because it sounds a lot like Krell).

Obama has named more Czars than the Russians ever had. Office space for them will become so cramped that they'll soon be packed in like czardines.

I think that since this is America, an Asian carp czar looks like a person from the Far East (Korea, China or Japan, etc). If this was the UK, and Asian carp czar would probably look like someone from India or Pakistan.

To tell you the truth, I’ve been a little worried about the Asian carps. But I don’t think it calls for a czar... a duke, maybe, but not a czar.
