Deputy Commissioner Richard Ross is now head of internal affairs, and will retain his title as the city's gun czar.I repeat a question I've asked before: Why "czar"?
Why don't they ever call these guys "fuhrer"?
And as for Commissioner Ross adding to his load, well, I'd really rather not go there.

"Czar" because it implies ultimate power over the dirty masses, much like the czars of Russia way back when.
ReplyDeleteThey couldn't possibly use "Fuhrer," because it has negative connotations that would remind people of the nazis. We can't have that. It brings up images of emaciated Jews in concentration camps. We can't possibly remind people that gun control is fascist!
Ve use ze term Czar because that 'movement' lasted much longer. And vas much more efficient, as zey vere able to destroy almost tvice ze amount as us!
ReplyDeleteZe Fuhrer self-destructed, vich as any good Nazi knows, is verbotten! Ze ONLY vons allowed to destruct is ze state!
Come now, mein Codrea, you KNOW zis! It zis frequently in your 'inflamatory' vritings! Vich, by ze vey, ve have been meaning to speak vith you about!
they sound so much like kindergarteners squabbling only without the high level of maturity. And these are the people we are supposed to trust more than ourselves? When Barbra Streisand says something intelligent!
ReplyDelete"Czar", "Fuhrer", it doesn't matter to me. Both titles speak of cruel tyranny.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know we can't. But Waffenfuhrer Ross definitely has a ring to it...
ReplyDeleteToo bad we can't use fuhrer. Waffenfuhrer Ross has a decided ring to it...
