Palin's book and Obama's bow: a media week to forget
Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
The Friday Rush: A series of conflicts
Footnote: Maybe I was rough in my choice of words the other day, but as I called it, Van Jones resigned because of Becks racist smears. He must be so proud of himself today.
Bush W had more czars than Obama.
Again This morning same nonsense, Interview a School Principal who said over and over that "I don't think we will have students op-out of POTUS School Speech" "In the Single Digits will not see it", But Fox couldn't do anything but say Glass half full comments.. when to me it sounds like very few have an Issue with this speech in that school..
It is Subliminal and if you watch it enough it does work.. especially on the weaker minds.. fox viewers!

Of course, being a communistic fascist makes just as much sense
(also zero is an arabic concept)
I'm sure that all of us can be self-appointed czars of whatever.
For the moment, I will appoint myself as the Gender Pronoun Czar and make it clear that I am a "she/her". I will also be the Gratitude Czar and thank you for your wonderful comment! I'm sure you will be an absolutely fabulous Beverage Czar.
Quite a coincidence Faux News playing music most Americans associate with the old USSR while discussing if Obama and his advisers "pose a threat to the constitution"
When the Soviet sub begins running with the silent propulsion, the crew suddenly start singing the Russian National Anthem, and the First Officer is alarmed, and reminds the Captain "Sir, the Americans will be able to hear us", but the commie cold warrior Sean Connery looks around at how proud his commie crew are at their great technological submarine achievement, and answers back "Let them sing!"
As far as Fox's effort to make musical fun of the strange title of "czar", they and their tin ears screwed up again... those lame people on that side of the political spectrum, they have no musical tastes or any instinct at all for song (recall Ashcroft's "Let The Eagle Soar" or whatever that embarrassing tune was called).
Remember Gary Numan's techno tune "Cars"?
It's a perfect example of some of the awesome electronic stuff done at the very end of the 70's and into the mid to late 80's (Flock Of Seagulls and the Thompson Twins are other good pop examples).
I'd have have turned "Cars" into "Czars"...
(You need to know and recall the tune "Cars")
"Here with my Czars
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
With Czars..."
I'd rather recall good art, than wallow in what Fox does... and recall "The Hunt for Red October" too.
In my opinion, the Russian National Anthem is actually a quite beautiful composition. Of course, faux can find a way to perverse it with their far reich radical propaganda.
Let me answer. They're not.
Why? Because they are policy advisors, and hold no real power within the executive branch. They advise the President (as do many other people who are not Senate confirmed), and that's it. These folks are accountable to the President. At the end of the day, guess who is still the one responsible for everything going on in the executive branch?
That would be the POTUS.
Bottle Blonde "I know what a law is (sometimes)" Czar
Spin Cycle with an Unbalanced Load Czar
What is the craziest thing anyone could possibly conjure up and cry about? Czar
He is, but isn't, Rev Wright/Ayers Czar
Pageant queen and #2 for brains morning lobotomy Czars
And just about all of them share the titles for Propaganda, Misinformation, and Fearmongering Czar
If Obama has a Television Czar, he should advise that all Fox "news"casts be accompanied by that circus calliope clown music, or the Benny Hill Yakkety Sax music. Maybe both at the same time, with the occasional bicycle horn honking.
Also, it seems that they don't report on the other evil people advising Obama that haven't been Senate confirmed either. Which is the VAST majority of folks who work for, well, Obama.
They also seem to forget that under the Constitution, Obama leads the executive branch, and he is beholden to Congress, the Judiciary, and MOST of all, the people of the United States. They seem to forget that the executive branch can't just do what they want to do and that they're not being checked by the other branches of government, and the people.
They keep forgetting that the following is true:
A. They have no power to make laws, or authority to enact any executive orders, or anything like that.
B. They are answerable to Obama, who is answerable to the American people, Congress, and a judiciary.
C. They are advisors, and that's it.
This is what I hear when I watch Fox.
Speaking of Fox, that Napolitano eejit was on at lunchtime, explaining how much trouble these czars could create if they tell Obama to do something unconstitutional.
Similar to the argument used by wingnuts to work illegal immigrants into the healthcare debate-- the law is bad because some people might try to break it.
There is an American Communist Party you Know..
Socialism is NOT illegal or against the Constitution..
As mentioned before, don't be scared of advisers. Every President has them, or had them. The vast majority of Senior Staff and other Presidential advisers were not vetted, as they report to, yes, the President. He is in charge of the executive branch, and you guys with your talking point about accountability not being there, well, it is. They're accountable to the President, the President is accountable to Congress and the Judiciary, and the American people.
Do we have to go back to junior high to learn about separate but equal branches of government again, and how checks and balances work?
These guys are advising, not making policy. They have no force of law behind them. They can't enact legislation, or sign executive orders, they, advise.
Bush had over 20+ Czars over his years in office, why the outcry now?
