They already are getting your tax money and all the money it takes to give the no-goods golden parachutes. The bailout loans have already been approved. The dog and pony show will continue until they feel the time is right to reveal the sham plan to the public.

To comfort you, just remember that federal judges are getting a 5% pay raise as an added bonus of the "Auto Industry Rescue Plan".

Now, doesn't that make you feel better? Those scum suckers.

Is there any better way to make sure that judges don't throw out the legislation?

how about car mis-management.

That sounds more realistic.

All pretty much proof US Capitalism is a failure, no?

Meanwhile, the vaunted and self-proclaimed Captains of Industry continue to loot the Treasury. And folks bythced and complained about Hood Rats looting in NOLA after Katrina. Hood Rats got nothing on White Men in Business Suits.

Both are correct, as Thatguywho wrote. Now, aesthetically speaking, car czar looks much nicer. But, do aesthetics really matter when you're being emptied of your pockets?

Yes! Dostoevsky, who became a devote monarchist later in his life, is famous for saying "beauty will save the world"...

Tsar is a far more accurate spelling that reflects the Russian sound.

Czar probably looks cooler to most Americans.

In either case, he, or she, will not be beautiful and will not save the world...

I'm tired of hearing about czars or tsars.

How about a designated car imperator? Car mikado? Car basileus? (I rather like the sound of the last one.)
