Huh? That's already been done? And nobody told FEMA
We've found out FEMA is paying $3.5 million to let all the ice they bought, and then didn't use, melt away. That’s on top of the $24 million it paid to stockpile the ice.
A statement on FEMA's website says it will take 11 months to get rid of the all the ice, 85 million pounds of it.
[From .: Senator Tom Coburn's activity on the Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, and International Security :: Latest News :.]
The story is dated July 26, 2007, and comes to mind again because Harry Shearer mentioned it on a recent Le Show and also because, as 11 months aren't up yet, you might still be able to get a souvenir chunk.
