Columnist and best-selling author Carl Hiaasen offered to pay for drug testing for all 160 members of the Florida Legislature in what he called “a patriotic whiz-fest.” Several of the law’s supporters say they’re on board.
“There is a certain public interest in going after hypocrisy,” Hiaasen said Tuesday, two days after he made his proposal in a Miami Herald column.
“Folks that are applying for DCF (Department of Children and Families) money normally wouldn’t be standing in that line, and on top of that humiliation they now get to pee in a cup so they can get grocery money for their kids,” Hiaasen told the Associated Press in an interview.
Let’s drug test anybody that gets a tax credit. If it’s a corporation the board gets tested. No urine, no money.
Oh, Florida. I love you sometimes for all the crazy.

Bless you, Carl Hiassen. GET ‘EM.
Oh, Florida. I love you sometimes for all the crazy.
Carl Hiaasen writes some great stuff (I’ve read Hoot and Star Island, so one sample of each a kids/YA and adult book!)...
He’s pretty good, especially if you like black humor. Striptease the awful movie was only vaguely related to Strip Tease...
Well, shit. I might have to pick up one or two of his books.
I love you, Mr. Hiaasen.
I mean, it’s only fair. The legislators are funded by tax dollars, right? If they’re so concerned about taxpayer money...
Fuck. Yes. This is the kind of backtalk I’ll do when I have a few more dollars, bet. Nice one.
