"From Fashion Week to our vibrant publishing industry to the many designers that call New York City home, fashion is a vital part of our economy that drives thousands of jobs," Weiner said in an email to Reuters.

I’ve seen more than enough of America, the whorehouse, and the organized crime that goes with it. We should start against the divorce courts and the laws used by them, and go from there to clean up the universities and corporations.

I thought we were talking about the H-34C and H-36C visas here. Also I’m disappointed by the lack of pictures.

He's against it, but FIRMLY in favor of drilling here, hence the new rules.

Glad we’re working on this problem rather than concerning ourselves with millions of illegals flooding our country. /s

What a Congressional pick up line for the foreign babes. “You know, I can get you a modeling visa, lets go back to my office and check into it”.
