Sign of the times...

Illinois Democratic Senator Dick Durbin urges Obama to appoint a [sic] "carp czar" to oversee federal efforts to prevent the pestilential Asian Big-Head carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) from entering the Great Lakes from Illinois waterways. I'm sure Dick has a candidate in mind for the czar position already too, no doubt some Chicago/Cook county Democratic organization political hack, as I'm sure even Durbin must know this fool's errand is a dead end in that carp DNA has already been found past the electric fence meant to hold them back in the Calumet river. But it's a nice paycheck for somebody for a few years of minimal work though.
