I just heard a story on our local news: to whit--FEMA is hiring a Pennsylvania company to MELT the ice it shipped to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Once there, the ice sat unused in New Orleans. Since then, it has been stored and/ or shipped around the country in trucks that are cooled to keep it frozen. Now the decision has been made to melt it.
The price tag for all this nonsense? $36 million!
As my title says--Oh, please!
Never again wonder what is wrong with the leadership in this country.
Here's my platform (remember my comments about people urging me to run for office)--if elected, I promise to take the ice out of the trucks that are keeping it cool and let . . . it . . . melt . . . on . . . its . . .own. Maybe it can help lower the ambient temperature and solve a tiny bit of the global warming problem.

What a hoot!
You have got to be kidding? Is this for real? How incredibly STUPID!! I never cease to be amazed. President Donna....hmmmm, has a nice ring to it!!
This is a scream! You are a scream! Darn right. Let it melt on its own. My vote goes to you.
$36M??????????? Very bizarre.
Why am I not surprised by this? That's our leaders for you, the brain trust in action. The scam trust is more like it.
Br-r-r-r!
Here's a link for the story on this fiasco:

I can't believe they would do this. What a waste of money...I think I like the sound of President Donna too (of course it would have to be President Aunt Donna)! : )
That is crazy and something that can only happen here in america!
Hi Donna,
I heard that same news story, which also generated a dinner table rant from my lips. And could you believe they've been driving it around in those trucks since Hurrican Katrina? I was hoping they would at least take it somewhere in the U.S. experiencing drought conditions, so all that water wouldn't go to waste.
Can't believe. Don't want to believe it. Arggghhh!
Oh, my blood boils just thinking of it! Maybe even enought to melt the ice. Grrr. @%&&#^@
Reminds me of a certain post of my own last week.
Keep smiling, though. DLTBGYD :-)
