Is it time for mandatory drug testing in the White House?

[Stinky The Clown]

We just watched as that Amish bike rider got called out for a bad pee test. He could possibly lose the title he won in the Tour de France. We've seen baseball and football players get their asses handed to them for steroids. The bike guy's accused of elevated testosterone levels.

I beginning to think maybe its time we started drug testing for White House decision makers. Specifically for testosterone. I have this real strong feeling those guys (KindaSleazy included) are punching each other in the butt with syringefulls of the stuff.

Here's a story of but one example of testosterone run amok:

In one of those only-in-Alaska stories that will shock even the sourest of sourdoughs, a trophy-sized bull moose was accidentally strung up in a power line under construction to the Teck Pogo gold mine southeast of Fairbanks. The moose apparently got its antlers tangled in electrical wire before workers farther down the line pulled the line tight about two weeks ago.

The moose was suspended 50 feet in the air when workers, recognizing something was wrong, backtracked and found it...

The prevailing theory is that the moose came across the sagging and swaying wires and, in a testosterone-filled moment, decided to challenge the power line to a fight, as bull moose are known to do during the rut, or mating season.

"My guess is he was in full rut and probably seen that line moving out there," and decided to fight, said Marvin Pickens, line construction manager for City Electric in Anchorage.

Anyway, that's a digression from my point. If these guys were taking estrogen instead of wallowing in all that testosterone, would the world be better off?

I kinda think so.

1. Testosterone run amok! I wish it could be explained away that

easily. I tend to think there's a deeper psychopathic reason...

2. No, absolutely not

Your point is well taken, but my pee belongs to me. Period.

Drug testing is evil.

Why should I have to produce urine to prove I can do a job?

3. I've been arguing for independent annual psych exams.

I'm convinced that George W. Bush is severely mentally ill, and I mean that in all sincerity.

4. While my post was tongue in cheeck, my point was dead serious

.... not that he's on steroids, but that he and his minions are seriously psychopathic.

As for George being seriously mentally ill (being very serious here), I don't think he's metall ill so much as narcissistic and socipathic.

And he's a plain old garden variety fucking drunk.

5. As a pysch nurse,

6. If that would mean bush would choose to desert again

7. OH yes....

And you'd NEVER get Cheney to leave voluntarily!

9. There already is mandatory drug testing at the White House

It's done on a random basis - all staff is subject to it.
