WHY NOT DRUG-TEST GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS?

The U.S. Supreme Court has recently ruled that it is OK to do random drug
testing of high school students who engage in any competitive or
extracurricular activities. It occurs to me that we ought to apply this
principle to our friends in Washington. 

I propose we implement drug testing for all senators and representatives. We
know how competitive politicians can be, and we have heard more than we care
to know about their extracurricular activities.
