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.
 
One of the christian groups on campus had a sno-cone machine at their booth thing, and it was the only reason I stopped by.
 
My wife bought the same sno-cone machine for her store. I hope there are no terrorists around.

EDIT: FUUUU...she's got a cotton candy machine, too! What does cotton candy attract? Pedos?
 
I honestly dont care. If the government can piss away 50 million on a plane that doesnt work for shit then cheap luxury items shouldnt be an issue.

Salim: "Do you know what this is?"
Harry: "I know what this is.. it's an espresso machine... no no no.. it's a snow-cone maker.. is it a WATER heater?"
 
“It is used to attract people so they can be educated and prepared for homeland security,” Dey said from his office in Muskegon.



Riiiiiiiiight. "So what does this position pay, and what hazards can be expected in the line of dut----shit is that a snow cone machine? I'm in!"'

Even Homeland Security needs on the job perks.

One of my jobs had a popcorn machine (the standup kind like you see at the circus) and a Cotton Candy Machine in the breakroom.

I dont see any issues with having a snowcone machine.
 
Working for Uncle Sam is like working for Willy Wonka!

(minus the questionable employment of undersized singing orange workers)

$900 bucks a piece?

get a goddamn coffeemaker like the rest of us maggots.
 
Great. So a government agency that has no reason to exist is buying equipment is has no reason to have...
 
At the risk of feeding trolls: It is easy to assume the worst, but the real purpose of this is stated in the article if any one reads it. Get people to visit their booth at an event, fair,etc.

Say you are at a sweltering summer event and you want to attract people to hand out information on being ready for a disaster. Things like what to have on hand, 72 hour preparations,etc. Put up a sign saying free snow cones. While you are making them their desired flavor, chat the person up on whatever you are"selling". You can get good interaction for only pennies.

If you look at what advertising costs for other media, a booth at the local fair can be a bargain. You just need to get traffic to you. Cheap (for you) freebies are a time proven way to do it.

All the other stuff in there was possible alternate uses to get the grant approved.
