Nerd Trivia: Obama Administration Has More Czars Than the Romanov Dynasty

Here's a fun fact, note by the blogging nerds at the Volokh Conspiracy. Hm, it's time for me to brush up my Russian imperial history...

Oh, and Volokh has a little understated comment: "Government by czar didn't work especially well in Russia." You don't say!

Caveat: nobody panic! We're just playing with the term "czars," not saying that the current administration is sending dissidents to Siberia or whatever. Mmmmkay?
