There's a drug czar, a U.S. border czar, an urban czar, a regulatory czar, a stimulus accountability czar, an Iran czar, a Middle East czar, and a czar for both Afghanistan and Pakistan, which in Washington-speak has been lumped together into a policy area called Af-Pak.
Now President B.O. has named Perez Hilton as the new Domestic Violence Czar

There are upward of 20 such top officials, all with lengthy official titles but known in the media as czars, and next week there will be one more, when Obama appoints a czar for cyber-security who will be charged with improving the security of computer networks. Being considered for the Cyber Czarinaship is Hiddie Al-Momma-Houd

And that list of 20 came out before the following appointment was made earlier this month:
President Barack Obama recently introduced Kenneth Feinberg as America's "compensation czar."
He'll oversee executive pay at firms that have taken federal bailout money. Feinberg "will have broad discretion to set the salaries and bonuses for their five most senior executives and their 20 most highly paid employees," The New York Times reported.
Perhaps President Obama and Vice President Biden will start announcing these appointments only after the latest Czar or Czarina has produced something of consequence.
