Meet the New Asian Carp Czar
**Written by Doug Powers
Another job saved but mostly created by the White House:
The White House said today it has chosen John Goss, former director of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, as its Asian carp czar.
Goss described himself as a fisherman who is very concerned about the possible spread of the voracious fish into the Great Lakes. Goss has also served as executive director of the Indiana Wildlife Federation.
I live in the Great Lakes area and my family boats, fishes and swims on occasion in those waters, but because of the fact the Obama administration appointed Goss and he’s described as an “environmental activist” in most articles, I have a fishy suspicion this will only culminate in even more regulation of the private sector and the formation of the IBAC (International Brotherhood of Asian Carp).
And hey, who’s up for the uber-competent White House being in charge of reversing the flow of rivers?
In a call with reporters, Goss was noncommittal about whether there should be a permanent separation between the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes, reversing the flow of the Chicago River. He said he’s awaiting the outcome of a study by the Army Corps of Engineers, which is looking at whether such a reversal is feasible.
The fine line the Asian Carp Czar must walk is identifying the offending fish without profiling.

They’re also worse swimmers.
(sigh) I’m all fished out.
oh, Rogue. You know Goss would give you the ‘scales off his back’!
LOLOLOL
No sure if anyone has mentioned this but…we are being infested with many alien life forms from other countries that aren’t compatible with the things we have in this country. Eruasian Milfoil, Zebra Snails, Killer Bees, Asian Carp, many many more. It isn’t just the illegal humans that are invading us, it is also the illegal plant and fish life. But, it looks like Obama is far more concerned with the non-human invaders than the murdering, drunk driving, blood sucking illegals of human persuasion. Nothing wrong with trying to rid ourselves of the carp…we MUST. But WHAT.ABOUT.THE.HUMANS???
Along the same lines…
Kip Adotta’s Wet Dream
There…I’ve just dated myself.
What – no trolling on a fish post?
Ah yes,The Platypus Man, Kip was one of the best, died too soon.
One last one:
Obowmao: Would someone please bait my hook, it’s so icky!
Enough with the fish shtick….
Something smells fishy in this story.
Is this more reverse discrimination against Asians?
They already have discriminated against
Asians in medical school adminissions, College admissions, Federal Grants for minorities in which Asians are not considered a minority, and discrimination in Professional Basketball, Football, and other areas, in which Asians are waaaaay under representated ……. which can only mean RAAAAAACCCCIIISSSSTS, and racism on the part of those organnizations which don’t have enough Asians in their ranks.
The same with the White House.
When was the last time you saw an Asian-Oriental President in the White House?
You’ve never seen one, have you?
No.
Why?
Racism!!!!!
How about, when was the last time you’ve seen an Asian-Oriental secretary of state, Speaker of the House, Head of the Senate, President Pro-tempore of the Senate, Vice President, etc.?
You’ve never seen one.
Why not?
RACSISM!!!!!
When was the last time you saw an Asian-Oriental person as leader of the NAACP?
Never?
Why not?
RACISM!!!!!
So now they are after Asian Carp.
Why?
RACISM!!!!!
What does the regime planning on using a Crap Czar for?
