"Terror Czar"

[BlackShanglan]

From the CNN homepage comes this headline:

Terror czar: Jet bomb plot 'not like 9/11'

This is either the worst title ever given to a government official or the silliest known attempt at naming a comic book villian.

Seriously, a "terror czar"? Is that meant to somehow reassure us? Who wants to live in a country that needs a terror czar?

That title was created by media headline writer, wasn't it? They have no responsibility to "mean" anything to "us" other than as a "read this" attention getter. You respond as if the government gave him that title. Need to learn to recognize the source of a statement before diving off the cliff.

Wait - wait ... I read a fabulous article the other day ... Czar should be banned from a list of overused words and phrases in 2009. Here it is... CZAR

Excellent idea! I also vote to add "extreme" in any usage whatsoever. That one needs a cooling-off period of at least a decade.

I'm conflicted - is the above "horseplay", or simply "horsing around"?
