A river of urine will soon be winding its way into the state capital.It will be comprised of samples from presumably drug addled welfare cheats who will be obliged to undergo mandatory drug tests before receiving any form of government assistance.
Our story begins on Mackinac Island at a tax-payer funded junket for G.O.P.state house and senate members.The state house speaker receives a package along with room service from an anonymous blogger.It contains the classic novella from the mid-sixties Yellow River by I.P.Daily."I didn't really think of it at first as social commentary,but I guess it's what you call inspiration.You know there's a yellow river in China and that's where all the bad drugs were invented so it made me think we gotta bring up this whole urine situation."
Upon returning to Lansing legislation was quickly cobbled together that calls for mandatory drug testing of individuals seeking any form of government assistance.It is expected to become law this year.
The speaker further remarked;"We must relieve ourselves of this great stream of public assistance.Welfare was never meant to be a Golden Parachute for poor people."
Why the people of Michigan - facing essentially a depression - decided to give the repukes control of the state legislature, is beyond me.
