Mariotti's Photo Scuffle?
When he's not busy seeking peace in the Middle East, President Obama is still doing his job back home and he's named Chicagoan Cameron Davis as his new "Great Lakes czar." Davis has an environmental background as he's the president of the Alliance for the Great Lakes. Per the Sun-Times:
Davis will coordinate efforts of about a dozen federal agencies working on the Great Lakes project, which deals with issues such as invasive species, polluted harbors, sewage overflows and degraded wildlife habitat.
The move is part of President Obama's plan to clean up the region, to the tune of $475 million in his 2010 budget.

I always hated "the czar of the telestrator Mike Fratello" from NBA on NBC, which if you watched one Bulls playoff game in the Jordan years you heard at least 200 times.
