Pony: Politician Drug Test Is Publicity Stunt

re: Lawmakers agree to test to back Drug Free Day Monday

Rainbow Sparkle Pony Angel: Basic drug screen urinalysis is dirt cheap. Cost is irrelevant. I think it's a ridiculous publicity stunt and I'm guessing none of them are signing full disclosure releases. They'll pee in bottles, get a photo op (hopefully not peeing) and bloviate for the press and that's that. Besides, according to the lead sentence: "The following elected and civic leaders have agreed to pee in a bottle at KMC Monday" it would be hard to analyze the results anyway with all of them peeing in one bottle ;)

Thom George: Nothing like 96+ hours advance notice! ;)

DFO: Now, if they were going to break out the breathalyzers ...
