WHAT IS A DRUG CZAR ANYWAY?

"Deputy drug czar sees medical marijuana as dangerous precedent" 
(Missoulian, Oct. 7): What is a deputy drug czar? A Machevelian Prince? 
Does one have to have a blue-blood gene marker? In a democracy, can anyone 
go undercover and emerge a princely deputy czar? Or only Ivy League grads? 
I wonder what their GSA pay scale is. I wonder what they really do. I 
wonder if as a taxpayer I am getting a fair return on my investment.

I wonder if they were having chemotherapy if they would smoke some pot to 
stop their nausea while collecting wages. I wonder if they read the book 
"Flatland" if they could see the analogy to their own existence?

Yes, Dorothy, there are Libertarian Republicans out here.
