Happy National Ice Cream Month!

Catherine StrawnJuly 21, 2008 //

Sure, July’s most famous holiday is the one celebrating our fine nation’s birth, but let’s not forget one of the month’s other noteworthy events: National Ice Cream Month. In 1984, Ronald Reagan designated the whole month as such, and he also named the third Sunday of July (yesterday) National Ice Cream Day. His proclamation called for people to observe these with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.” I neglected to eat any ice cream yesterday, but in the last 10 days of the month, I plan to give ice cream a proper celebration.

    Pedophiles Will Soon Be Forbidden From Serving Ice Cream

    Catherine StrawnMay 12, 2008 //

    Whenever I hear the sound of an ice cream truck rolling down the street, I think, Wow, if I were a pedophile, driving an ice cream truck would be a genius way for me to get in with the kiddies! and it seems lawmakers are having similar thoughts. Last summer, a convicted sex predator was found to be driving an ice cream truck in San Bernardino County, CA. Now, they’re planning to draft an ordinance that would prevent that from happening, and similar laws are in the works in Massachusetts and New York. Rapid City, SD will require ice cream vendors to undergo criminal background checks. The ACLU has warned groups against going overboard in their prosecution of sex offenders, but shouldn’t little kids be able to get ice cream without first getting groped? [AHN] Keep reading »
