Today's Nominee -- Adolfo Carrion

Is it just me, or does the word ''carrion'' bring to mind a squished skunk on the side of the road? Well, at least the skunk part fits with this lout.
Does anyone other than me think that the use of the term ''czar'' to describe appointees to various offices within the Federal Executive is incompatible with a representative federal republic with severely limited central government reach and power, and accountability for all such? It does seem to be more than a bit too much like the various gauleiters under the National Socialists or the Blackshirts.
Such positions rarely attract good people, and here's another such case.
The person on stage is one Adolfo Carrion, formerly a borough president in the Bronx, and based upon this story in the NY Daily News, ''pay to play'' was not a stranger to him. Now Obamarama is putting him into the post of ''urban czar''.
Yep, more of that ''hope and change''.
