COLORADO CITY TO STOP SELLING ICE CREAM AT POOLS, PARKS
AP ^ | July 1, 2016

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) -- Boulder residents will no longer be able to cool off with an ice cream cone by the pool because the city has discontinued the sweet treat as a vending option at all Parks and Recreation facilities.

The city dropped ice cream cones, bars and sandwiches in an effort to cut down on sugary, unhealthy snacks, The Daily Camera reported (http://bit.ly/29c8YoD). City-run facilities can only sell treats that satisfy a series of nutritional standards, meaning chips and other junk food also left snack stands this year.

I’m in the area now. The irony is that people in Boulder are at least 50% smaller that folks in ol’ Kentucky. They know how to take care of themselves, and there is lots to do out here.

Neither here nor there, but whilst striding down the Pearl Street mall, I wondered what might have happened to me if I wore a “Make America Great Again” hat? Probably would have been arrested and sent to a reeducation camp.

No need for a script. Just go to a dispensary. Recreational pot is legal in Colorado since 2012.

Ok, thanks.

To protect humanity, Boulder should be nuked from orbit. This is the also the city where the creators of South Park grew up and gained there best material. They detest liberals.

One big fat “YEAHBUT.”

I can buy pot in Colorado, but not ice cream.

They’re just not going to stop, are they?

Ice cream makes people fat like guns kill people. Libs do their best to eradicate personal responsibility.

Now they will wonder why attendance, pool revenue and vending revenue all took a ‘mysterious’ plunge.

It’s so obvious that this is the fault of those rascally Republicans.

all took a ‘mysterious’ plunge.

And the Boulder city council, in all their wisdom, will impose a new city-wide sales tax to compensate for this mysterious loss of tax revenue.

Gawd I hate liberals.

The only pleasure they allow is sex. Boy, are they all about sexual freedom. Any health repercussions from sex must be dealt with by free medical, because God Forbid we hinder people from having sex anywhere, anytime, with anyone.

Then they’ll wonder why suburbs are getting more business and why the sales tax isn’t generating the revenue they anticipated.

I thought wow! Sounds like D.C., but then I realized that D.C. is surrounded by Montgomery County and Fairfax county, just more grifters grifting on the effluvium from the grift capital of the universe.
