Turbin asks Obama to appoint crap czar

As concerns mount about the presence of Asian carp near Lake Michigan, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin today urged President Obama to appoint a carp czar to oversee efforts to keep the invasive species out of the Great Lakes.

"We need to have one person who coordinates the efforts of the federal, state and local agencies that are doing everything they can to keep the Asian carp out of Lake Michigan," Durbin said during a news conference at the Shedd Aquarium. "We believe it's absolutely essential."

Know how to prepare carp? Nail the fish to a cedar plank. Baste with butter and spices. Bake for one hour at 350 degrees. Remove fish from oven and then from the cedar plank. Throw the fish away and eat the plank.

May I suggest one small change? I'd throw the carp away at the beginning...

I'm with Ohio. Carp is an oily, nasty-tasting fish.
