Okay, grandma, now get pissing

I just read this hysterical post on The Huffington Post written by Bill Maher. It is about a rule (law?) in Florida (of course, where else?) that requires that all library volunteers be drug tested. As noted in Maher's piece, the average age of library volunteers is between 60 and 85.

And Maher's comment about the last time a librarian did anything stupid and reckless while on drugs is not to be missed. You gotta read the whole thing.

**Climbing on the soapbox**

We have WAY too many other things to be worried about. Especially in Florida. How about drug testing the Governor and the people he has appointed? How about spending the money and time on something more productive and important like, oh, say the homeless problem, the crime rate, the state of health care?

**Climbing back down**

Can you just see the 80 year old guy emptying his colostomy bag into the little receptacle? Test THIS!

Well, have you seen the movie "Little Miss Sunshine", where the grandfather says you'd be stupid to take drugs when you are young, but you'd be stupid NOT to when you are old ;-) ...

I wonder what they spend on the drug tests...

I just read an article about the waste in government. I am so angry but I don't know where to start complaining

Maybe the president and his daughters should be drug tested too.
