Thread Name: BS: enough with the 'Czar' label
Subject: RE: BS: enough with the 'Czar' label
If we want a policy to go in a certain direction, we put a director in charge.
I HATE that czar is being used the way it is, and don't know why, but it is physically like hearing fingernails on a chalk board when I hear it used in the context other than its original Russian meaning.
No, don't call me czar or czarina Anything.
The positions should be called Director, I believe. Director of Drug Policy or Drug Policy Director. Energy Policy Director. Terrorism Policy Director.
