from story:
am not a Christmas character, so I am allowed to know naughty words, and I thought of several after reading Susan Weich's account of the firing of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
The story was in Saturday's newspaper.
Laura Coppinger is the Sugar Plum Fairy. At least, she used to be. She played the role for the last six years during the Christmas Traditions festival in St. Charles.
This year, festival hiring came under the control of the city of St. Charles, and because all city employees are required to take a drug test, Coppinger had to go to a local testing facility to give a urine sample. She filled a cup and then flushed the toilet. She said she did so out of habit.
That makes sense.
But it turns out a person is not supposed to flush the toilet. That's because a person could use the incoming water to dilute their sample.
That doesn't make sense.
If water can dilute the sample, a person could use water that was already in the toilet. Or she could quietly run the tap.

Emerson among GOP lawmakers pressing 'supercommittee' to back new revenues
Emerson among GOP lawmakers pressing 'supercommittee' to back new revenues

from article:
WASHINGTON • Rep. Jo Ann Emerson planned to join a collection of House members holding a variety of political views at a news conference Tuesday advising the debt panel to look hard at new money sources in the race to meet its deficit-cutting deadline next week.
The event is a follow-up to a recent letter signed by Emerson and 39 other House Republican -- joined by 60 Democrats -- telling the panel that "all options for mandatory and discretionary spending and revenues must be on the table."
With a Nov. 23 deadline fast approaching, Emerson, of Cape Girardeau, is reflecting growing pessimism in Washington that the 12-member supercommittee will reach agreement on a package that would reduce borrowing by at least $1.2 trillion over the next ten years.

Vouchers for veterans and other bad ideas
Vouchers for veterans and other bad ideas
click link above for full
snip from article;
U.S. health care is remarkably diverse. In terms of how care is paid for and delivered, many of us effectively live in Canada, some live in Switzerland, some live in Britain, and some live in the unregulated market of conservative dreams. One result of this diversity is that we have plenty of home-grown evidence about what works and what doesn't.
Naturally, then, politicians — Republicans in particular — are determined to scrap what works and promote what doesn't. And that brings me to Mitt Romney's latest really bad idea, unveiled on Veterans Day: to partially privatize the Veterans Health Administration.
What Romney and everyone else should know is that the VHA is a huge policy success story, which offers important lessons for future health care reform.
Many people still have an image of veterans' health care based on the terrible state of the system two decades ago. Under the Clinton administration, however, the VHA was overhauled, and it achieved a remarkable combination of rising quality and successful cost control. Multiple surveys have found the VHA providing better care than most Americans receive, even as the agency has held cost increases well below those facing Medicare and private insurers. Furthermore, the VHA has led the way in cost-saving innovation, especially the use of electronic medical records.
What's behind this success? Crucially, the VHA is an integrated system, which provides health care as well as paying for it. So it's free from the perverse incentives created when doctors and hospitals profit from expensive tests and procedures, whether or not those procedures actually make medical sense. And because VHA patients are in it for the long term, the agency has a stronger incentive to invest in prevention than private insurers, many of whose customers move on after a few years.
And yes, this is 'socialized medicine"

Police arrest Occupy St. Louis protesters
Police arrest Occupy St. Louis protesters
click link above
from article:
Updated at 12:45 a.m. Saturday: Police moved into the Occupy St. Louis protest at Kiener Plaza about 12:30 a.m. and took about 20 protesters into custody.
The arrests came about 15 minutes after officers warned protesters that anyone who refused to leave the downtown plaza would be arrested.
The crowd of Occupy St. Louis protesters had shrunk to about 100. Of them, about 25 indicated they were willing to be taken into custody.
"None of us are choosing to be arrested," said Brian Staack, one of the protesters, just before he was taken into custody. "We are choosing to maintain our occupation and our right to peaceably assemble."
There was shouting from the protesters as the arrests were made, but no signs of violence. Streets near the plaza were closed before the arrests were made.
