Sorry folks but Larry pulled a string that cannot be ignored.

About this particular incident he was well aware. The Conch Regata was
targeted directly by Ashcroft as a way to intimidate the rest of us. It
was even mentioned in a DOJ briefing back in June. Treasury and the DOJ
waivered a bit when the fact came out that the permit was withdrawn the
day before the regata was to depart but word came directly from chief
puppet master Carl Rove to push it.

The odd thing is, if you are of Cuban extraction you can go to Cuba and
although they are supposed to be limited to carrying no more than $200
worth of goods if you visit the Miami airport you will see them lined up
with everything from color TVs to microwaves. They also send over a
Billion dollars a year. That is the second largest income stream for
the island. Second only to European and Canadian tourism.

This restriction on the rest of the citizens of the US is strictly to
keep the Miami Cubans voting Republican. Last year when the Dubya
tightened the restrictions on the rest of us he relaxed the rules on the
Miami Cubans.
