It's just horrendous. I'm a kid person and I just couldn't imagine someone hurting a defenseless child.

This is the smallest child you can ever imagine. I don't think this kid is 4 feet tall. He's tiny. He's the tiniest kid in the class.

Molestation 'on demand' and an ever-younger and more defenseless group of child victims are two of the most disturbing trends [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] investigators see when they infiltrate child-pornography rings. This case had both.

It is that we are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love, never no helplessly unhappy as when we have lost our loved object of its love.

These are horrendous numbers that put the equation in stark relief for the Fed. They have to cut rates by 25 basis points [one-quarter percentage point] in October, and the debate could swing to a 50 basis point cut.

But believe me, just because the human mind can't imagine something happening...doesn't mean it won't.
