    STANTON, Mich. (The Daily News of Greenville)- The United States is fighting terrorism - one snow cone at a time.
    Montcalm County recently received a $900 Arctic Blast Sno-Cone machine.
    The West Michigan Shoreline Regional Development Commission (WMSRDC) is a federal- and state-designated agency responsible for managing and administrating the homeland security program in Montcalm County and 12 other counties.
    The WMSRDC recently purchased and transferred homeland security equipment to these counties - including 13 snow cone machines at a total cost of $11,700.

    Is it a FA snow cone machine? :D

    This how they spend our tax dollars...

    They need some early Americana; perhaps tarred and feathered then run out of town on a rail.

    Unfortunately it's true.

    It will go into the re-education camp , err, scratch that. Training seminars to entice small children into their fold because, everyone loves the Ice Cream Man.

    But it must use fluoridated water and the only flavors will be Ruby Ridge Red, OKC Orange, Gitmo Green and for the real die hards, Rendition Raspberry .

    I escaped the Mitten a long time ago.

    It's funny, studded snow tires were illegal because 'they would ruin the roads' LOL. I drive in states that allow studded tires 5-6 months of the year and the roads are like glass. Last time I drove through Detroit, I flattened 2 tires in that giant pothole (you know the one) that's so old it's got 120 coats of rival gang graffiti spray paint inside it.

    I'm thinking about jumping a boat and heading off to weegrannymush's AO with my family in tow!

    Yes the roads are horrible. We'd be better off if they went from asphalt back to dirt.

    Speaking of dirt roads, only MI knows how to make dirt roads with that perfect brain jarring washboard effect. ;) Say, maybe you could fill a pickup bed full of water & dirty clothes and push it back and forth along the road for SHTF Laundry day???

    Melbo lost his rights as a Michigander as soon as he got a car that wasn't covered with rust holes.

    Every spring I think I get better gas mileage as there is less of the car being propelled over the washboard.

    Yup, South after North, 50/50 - Cosby, Tennessee even ;)

    Now that's funny! I haven't seen salt on roads in 20 years. I think we just use plows, studded tires and maybe some sand if necessary after they blast the avalanche potentials.

    Then again, I'm just a left coast wacko now.

    Or it could be for when the boy's in body armor, shiny boots and blue helment's start marching the streets. They will have to keep their body core Temp down.
