Can I be a czar, too?

I just heard on the news the U.S. now has a "Border Czar." I told TZM that I'd like to have a job with a title that included the word "czar." (I'd be fine with "tsar," too.)

I told TZM that the appointment of this new "Border Czar" job reminded me of when former Florida governor Bob Martinez was named "Drug Czar."

By the way, I think the word "czar" used to describe anyone but a Russian ruler sounds illicit.

At the time of Martinez's appointment, I thought, "Why is the news media reporting this? A former governor has had to turn to heading a drug cartel? This isn't good!" Of course, now I know what "Drug Czar" means, but I believed for several months that the former governor had turned to a life of crime.

I explained to TZM that I was quite young at the time--thus, my confusion. But, Wikipedia suggests I was actually about 18. I think it's pretty clear I should never be the Politics Czar or Current Affairs Czar.
