Although Customs and Border Protection analyzes cargo and other information to target specific shipments for closer inspection, it still physically inspects only a small fraction of the containers under its purview.
The entire deaths of Vietnam died in vain. And they're dying in vain right this very second. And you know what's worse than a soldier dying in vain? It's more soldiers dying in vain. That's what's worse.

I have often been characterized by one sound bite, and people say, 'That is the whole of Mike Huckabee, because we have him on this off-the-cuff moment.'
Kita selalu berkaok-kaok tentang sosialisme, tapi tindakan pemerintahan kebalikan dari itu. Harga bensin misalnya, dinaikkan sekaligus 62 kali lipat, tarif gas dan listrik melambung 20 kali, serta harga beras melompat-lompat tak terbeli.
Apa yang dikatakan persatuan (oleh Soekarno) sebenarnya tak lain dari per-sate-an. Daging kerbau, daging sapi, dan daging kambing disate jadi satu. Persatuan segala golongan ini sama artinya dengan mengorbankan asas masing-masing.

When we mention the 1 percent and the 99 percent, everybody now knows what we are talking about. It's part of our vocabulary. How quickly these numbers jumped from the sidelines to the center.
As I watch what is happening in the Middle East and the carnage that comes over our television screens every evening, I cannot help but ask myself, what is wrong with humankind that we cannot stop the killing?
