How's this for a double dog dare? Bridgeport, Conn., Mayor John Fabrizi,  who not long ago confessed to a coke habit, declares that he's now so clean that he's willing to be tested "any time, any place, anywhere."

The Connecticut Post decided to take Fabrizi up on his offer. A few days ago, editor Michael Daly invited hizzoner down to the paper's offices. Fabrizi cleared his schedule, drove with Daly down to a testing center, and provided the necessary ingredient for a urinalysis right on the spot.

"He came down to the paper and I made the offer and he said, `Let's go right now,'" Daly said. "It took me back a little bit, but I wasn't going to interrupt the flow of things."

Um, well said. The mayor, by the way, passed the test.

Christopher Swope was GOVERNING's executive editor.
