...Governors from agriculture states - especially Minnesota's flamboyant Jesse Ventura - were in full force at the expo, and all called for an eventual end to the embargo. And ironically, Florida, the seat of the embargo's staunchest Cuban exile support, was the most heavily represented - at least by business if not by Gov. Jeb Bush, who had publicly chastised Ventura for attending the event. "This trip has been an emotional roller coaster for me," said Carlos de Quesada, 34, the son of Cuban exiles who represents a Tampa livestock shipment firm, Cuba-Florida Cattlemen, and who was himself making...
...angrily denies. "Millions of tons of food have been distributed free to six million people" since a hurricane ravaged the island last November, insisted Castro, who reveled in feeding U.S. livestock for photographers. If Cuba can't pay for any of the food purchases it signs for during this expo, he said, "we'll give [Cason] $100 million." (Cason had no reply...
...only ten bucks. If that doesn't make you feel good, the money you spend goes to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, a non-profit organization with the superheroic mission of defending the First Amendment rights of commix artists.

Clearly, this ain't a tea party. This is Waste Expo 2002, the annual trade show and convention of the U.S. solid-waste industry...
...just keeps coming in good times and bad. The business "doesn't tend to have technological leaps," says Bill Wolpin, editorial director of the journal Waste Age. "It's an industry that's still struggling with computers." Indeed, high-tech gimmickry is exceedingly thin on the ground at Waste Expo; four lonely exhibitors huddle forlornly in the "Technology Pavilion," fully half a mile from the main entrance and conveniently adjacent to the "Medical Waste Pavilion." Tracey Anderson of CFA, which markets a computer program to track truck-fleet maintenance, bravely tries to spin her booth's isolation: "It's almost...
