A Fractal Particle

Got a question? I've got an answer.   Submit   Feminist, vegetarian, leftish libertarian, quasi-Buddhist Existentialist with interests in queer theory, food (eating and preparing), science fiction, and pretty things of all sorts.

Studying: astrophysics and pure math, with minors in German, English, and philosophy.

Give me everyday good music, good books, good yoga, and good sex, and I'm a happy camper.

A Patriotic Whiz-Fest -- Best Selling Author Offers to Pay to have Florida Legislators Drug Tested →

sexartandpolitics:

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.
