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!

Irregular verbs: those few remaining doing words that have stood up to the word fascists and kept their random and bedraggled little endings intact.
These poor little buggers are hunkered down in some 18th century fort taking hits from every side by people with rulers and powerpoint presentations.
In their defence, I am going to turn the bureaucrats’ ultimate weapon back on themselves – a list!
HenceForth!@ I am going to create a list of all the verbs that have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, shamozzled and straight out bumjacked (yes, they even let you regularise verbs you make up – fuckers) into the sordid and dreary world of the bureaucrat: which is French for people with little or no imagination.
I’ll start with ‘glide’
If gliding made a sound, I’m willing to bet my shiniest five yen coin that it would go onomatopoeia on our asses.
Glide just glides. It glides so well it almost slides, but has a neat little ‘gl’ up its front stop it from doing that.
So here’s what’s essentially a perfect verb until you get to it’s past tense
Glided!
What The Fuck?
Glided, for the love of all that is filled with tea! Any kind of awesomeness your glide may have had just got spear tackled by a streaking heckler.
Whichever retarded linguist/author/queen’s good man decided to whack two consonants onto the end of this thing should be taken outside and forced to learn Estonian.
Did you slided? No, you slid. & I glid.
