...been lookin’ to show off that sexy new mullet?” read the invitation to a “Trash ’n’ Cash” party last weekend. “Or maybe you players are ready to bust out the new ice.” An accompanying graphic featured a pair of black men surrounded by a Mercedes, a bottle of champagne, the words “bling bling,” and stacks of money—the “cash.” Below them...
...divorce from Jake (Josh Lucas), the boy she had loved, wed and left in rancor. But Jake is so steamed that he won't sign the papers. The whole town turns on Melanie for becoming a spoiled Yankee brat. And the mayor dispatches spies to learn her dirty white-trash secret...

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."
