1. It's a media title, not governmental, and apparently started under Nixon

( not to say that Bush is any less of a fucking piece of shit )

4. That has always bugged the shit out of me
We have plenty of job titles to choose from: comptroller, director, secretary, etc. It's all the fault of those damned Europeans who've infiltrated our society over the last 400 years.
