These words make me nervous, and they should make you nervous too, in the way the inquisition and gas chambers do.
Give it a couple of hundred years, but one day some poor human somewhere will be standing in a dock answering to a machine on this…

Tsar!
Drug Tsar. Crime Tsar. Health Tsar. Blah Tsar.
Come on! The last Tsar was assassinated along with almost his whole family for ruining the largest country on the planet. How is this a bureaucratic role model?
You get whatshisface from that whitepeopleblog railing against the apparently incorrect/inappropriate use of Nazi, but nothing about this proliferation of Tsar, which means Emporer by the way. I mean, come on, even un-summed emperors have killed more people that Hitler ever did. Closer to home, Stalin killed about 20 million, but just because he wasn’t as effiecient as the Germans, now you can call any twat with a job description and a headline, a Tsar!

I must admit that me and irony have a checkered past.
You see, apparently, I often mistake coincidence for irony.
The only noteworthy thing about this is that apparently (again) so many people do this that we might just better off swapping the definitions of irony and coincidence. Or calling ironic things, dark coincidences, or something.
The latest thing that I thought was ironic was the fact that the facebook spellchecker spell checks facebook (as a word) but not twittering. (apparently also, she sells seashells by the sea shore)
Maybe it’s not ironic, but it is odd.
Not as odd, however, as the hidden stash words that must be lurking within a hidden folder of Microsoft word.
I refer to the FUCK/CUNT spell-check conundrum.
Fact 1) Spellcheck does not suggest fuck as an option if you mistype it fack
Fact 2) Spellcheck does not put a red squiggly line under fuck if you get it right.
Fact 3) Spellcheck does put a red squiggly line under cunt, when you get it right.
Fact 4) Again, spellcheck accepts clit but does not suggest it.
So what’s the deal? There’s a hidden cuss folder but they left cunt out?
I mean come on, Queen Victoria had a cunt before she had a vagina!

This boy gives a whole new meaning to the term nuwave-post-neo-luddite.
What he should have done was post a link to his blog on his official website, denying the existence of his twitter account.
