Enough with the copyright BULLSHIT.

The world wants too see and hear what Penn has to say.

Remove the copyright restrictions outside the USA.

Exactly. I"m conservative and I am willing to admit Bush messed up this country. In fact, Bush and friends are the reason I stopped supporting the Republican party.

We put up with 8 years of lying and deceit, then runs a campaign on doing things different. There are clips of Obama saying "I didn't start this, Bush did it first."

Then Obama renews the FISA act, continues bailing out irresponsible corporations and many other things. Yet his supporters aren't questioning this?

@panterguy Go right ahead and push your factionist bullshit - do you think Penn cares?

[TheGreatRL]

@panterguy Nope

Am I the only person who remembers that the term "Czar" originated with the Nixon Administration?

[Rensune]

@azazloraine an adviser is a person that gives someone advice (in a political position they act as a soundboard against which that ruler bounces off ideas) Now, these Czars may also be advisers, but when it comes to their given duty, they are given full authority by the president to act within their given field. I suppose a more proper term for them would be vassal.

[azazloraine]

@Rensune What difference does it make how old the term is? And why do you have adviser in quotation marks? Do you know what an adviser is? Also they do not have complete power at all, there is no autonomous czar. But again as they are advisers to the executive branch it is the president who has the authority. Like any bureaucracy there are officials who are appointed to see that a policy is enacted, but they aren't not the ultimate authority on policy. In what way is that a czar?

[Rensune]

@azazloraine It's a term that's decades old (Since FDR). As far as being an "adviser" they're not. They're granted complete power within their given field (hence the given moniker).

[azazloraine]

I'm sorry but this point is crazy. There are no czars in the United States government so being worried about them is pointless. Czar is a term used by opponents of government bureaucracy and is lazy and dishonest. Nobody has the title of czar, they are advisers. How can you criticize someone for a title that has been imposed upon them? This entire point is complete Bullshit and dishonest.

[GaiusIuliusTaberna]

Czar actually means Caesar, which I suppose can mean a lot of things to different people.

@Raykak We're working to make some Penn Says episodes available in the UK, Canada, and Australia by the end of April.
