Standing up here 10 in a row, you know, like a bunch of seals waiting for somebody to throw you the next fish, is not necessarily the best way to impart your information to the American people. I'm not above acting like a seal every once in a while and waiting for the next fish, I just don't want to do it all the time.

The problem is that agencies sometimes lose sight of common sense as they create regulations.

I think that there is a relatively small number of people who are pushing for independence in Taiwan.

China is one of the world's greatest proliferators of weapons of mass destruction to these rogue nations

So China will be having to make some choices as to whose side it wants to be on. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of a major improvement in our relationship with them, if they choose correctly

For example, lead paint in old houses can be a greater threat to children's health than lead that may be under some industrial site where there are no children

But if the Chinese mainland, the PRC, attacked Taiwan, we'd be obligated to come to their aid.
