45 Czars—This Is What Democracy Looks Like?

Here’s a mind-blowing factoid for you: America currently has 50% more czars than Russia ever did (Obama has 45, Russia had 30), according to a new report from conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch. One of them is Michael R. Taylor, Obama’s food safety czar, who ordered an FDA raid on an Amish farm in Pennsylvania in April for selling unpasteurized milk. (Reason.com has more on the farm raid here.)

I don’t know about you, comrade, but when I think about dangerous forces imperiling our great-nation-gone-soft, I put 'Amish farmers' and 'edgy dairy products' near the top of the list, right under ‘Too many czars’ and ‘The possibility that Rebecca Black will record songs for the other six days of the week.’
