All this talk about drug testing by politicians makes me think we need to

Edited on Tue Aug-10-10 03:12 PM by Rex

Find out if this is projection (maybe a plea for help)...so starting tomorrow, let us have the 'perfect folks' on the Hill, all cabinet level officials in the Obama administration and of course all the suits that work for the SCOTUS and the justices themselves take a piss test TOMORROW, NO EXCUSES!

Drop'em and don't take all day in the bathroom!

1. Great plan

If they are so interested, they need to show some leadership.

Piss in the cup, starting at the top and working down.

2. I second that. Especially for Congress. You'd have to be wasted to believe the

shit they spew. And breathalizers all around too. Boner would probably be legally drunk most of the time.

4. I've always thought the piss tests should start at the top down

I've worked with people who did drugs. The ones who were dependent or addicted only did enough drugs to avoid getting sick because they knew they couldn't afford to have their minds all foggy on the job.

When you put a suit on, it doesn't seem to matter, just pile a bunch of paper on your desk and bark into the phone when it rings and few people are the wiser. Been there, too, only I wasn't doing drugs, I was reading...

Maybe we'd eliminate a lot of what's wrong with this country if the top got weeded out the way we do, dopers first and then the ones with personality disorders.

6. agreed The "Whiz Quiz" should be for everyone... or no one at all.

I read once that the way to thin your employee ranks is to buy Poppy seed bagels and or Cake for the whole staff.

Then Whiz quiz that afternoon. Everyone will fail then decide whom you want to keep. fire the rest and of the ones you are keeping... they will take reduced pay to keep their job with a "Dirty" whiz quiz on their record.

7. Well, they've changed the sensitivity of that particular test

so that opiate metabolites clear from the system in a few days instead of a week, so that particular staff reduction strategy no longer works. Poppy seeds just don't contain enough opiate to set off the alarm bells now, especially when washed down with copious amounts of liquid.

Of course, they still could insist on the old whiz quiz to weed out staff and put the rest on probation so they could be fired with cause and not be able to collect unemployment.

9. Yes! If they want to collect retirement, then piss in a cup!

If you get money for serving, past or present, you need to be tested for drugs...what? No you must it is mandatory, hiding sumthing are we Turd Blossom? Trunks down, NOW!

Tell them they have 10 minutes and if they fail, they lose all their benefits!
