So when are we going to begin mandatory drug tests on each administration?
I think all candidates for Congress and above should have mandatory random drug tests with no notice, and all Presidents, vice-Presidents and senior cabinet officials should also have additional mandatory drug tests every 6 months.

If it's important to ensure that a school bus driver hasn't used drugs recently, surely the people that order the deaths of millions should be held to a higher standard.

Who's with me?

3. Excellent question! Anyone who has access to the red button
should not only take mandatory drug tests, but be forced to take his annual physical, regardless of the fact that an election is coming up.

4. They examined my pee
Just to see if I was worthy of answering the telephone as a seasonal customer service rep.

Bush went AWOL to avoid the same thing.

I'm against drug testing in the workplace, but it is amusing to think of Bush having to pee in a plastic cup. He probably would miss; he can't do anything else right!

6. Until we make them conform to their own laws, we will never be free
Mandatory drug testing in the workplace will end when it is applied to the lawmakers and law enforcement. It's as simple as that.
