Michigan Counties Receive Snow Cone Machines to Combat Terrorism

Here is another WTF moment, courtesy of our federal government. A county in Michigan requested a snow cone machine from Homeland Security through a grant program. In response, 13 received this indispensible weapon against terrorism. Another county requested a popcorn machine, but was denied. Apparently, the terrorist have found a way to counter this deterrant.

When asked about the usefulness of this icy carnival pleaser, the following excuse was given:

The Michigan Homeland Security Grant Program’s Allowable Cost Justification document, dated May 9, 2011, says the snow cone machines can make ice to prevent heat-related illnesses during emergencies, treat injuries and provide snow cones as an outreach at promotional events.

WMSRDC Executive Director Sandeep Dey said one county requested a popcorn machine, but that request was denied. He said the snow cone machine request would not have been granted by itself, but was approved because it came with other homeland security equipment.

“It is used to attract people so they can be educated and prepared for homeland security,” Dey said from his office in Muskegon. “More importantly, they (homeland security officials) felt in a medical emergency the machine was capable of making ice packs which could be used for medical purposes.”

The snow cone machine is currently being stored in the Montcalm County Emergency Services (MCES) building in Stanton. MCES Director David Feldpausch said the machine could be useful at the scene of a large fire or during very hot weather.

“I don’t like the term snow cone machine, because it sounds horrible,” Feldpausch said. “When you look at it as an ice shaving machine and its purpose, it makes a little more sense. I assume it will get used in Montcalm County a lot more in the summertime by the Fire Corps.”

I wonder what their excuse is for the flavoring syrups.

Touch the Muslim's Junk, Not Mine

A little common sense goes a long way.  We know who the culprits are.  It's time to start profiling.  Screw CAIR and the whole damn political correctness crowd.  We wouldn't be in this position if it were not for Muslims imposing their "peaceful" ideology on the whole damn world.

Now we have the TSA shoving their hands down our pants; feeling up children and nuns; in the meantime CAIR is trying to get a waiver?  Have we gone insane?

British Teen Banned from U.S. for Calling Obama a Prick

A British Teen is banned for life from the United States after he left a message calling Barack Obama a prick:

He said: "I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk. But I think I called Barack Obama a p***k. It was silly - the sort of thing you do when you're a teenager and have had a few."



Luke, of Silsoe, Beds, said it was "a bit extreme" for the FBI to act.


He added: "The police came and took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever. I don't really care but my parents aren't very happy."


A Beds Police spokesman said: "The individual sent an email to the White House full of abusive and threatening language. We were informed by the Metropolitan Police and went to see him. He said, 'Oh dear, it was me'."


Officers will take no criminal action.


Joanne Ferreira, of the US Department of Homeland Security, said there are about 60 reasons a person can be barred.


She added: "We are prohibited from discussing specific cases."

All this kid did was call Obama a prick?  And he was banned from entering the country forever?  There are a hell of alot of Americans who'd better not leave the country.  If that's the criteria, we wouldn't be allowed back in.
