    Default Tsar or Czar?

    The automobile bailout bill now before the US congress calls for the creation of a "Car Czar" appointed by the president to force changes in the auto companies and control the bailout money. Countries around the world are bailing out all sorts of industries. Having a separate Tsar (I prefer this spelling, though Car Czar has better alliteration) for each industry and each country is a disorganized mess. So, I have a modest proposal...

    Let us appoint one Tsar with authority over the entire global economy. Only one man is qualified to wield that much power. I nominate Vladimir Putin.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Both spellings are pretty inaccurate misleading.
