The reason my wife has to be.........

[Calipro]

More beautiful than I am handsome is because the alternative scares me.

Otherwise she would have to be smarter than I am, make more money than I do and be able to kick my ass in a fist fight.

If some of you guys are really looking for your equal, you should keep looking in the U.S. and if you look hard enough you might even be able to find your superior.

I don't know how these statements will make me appear in the psychological profiles some of you have on me. But, I did take a personality test for a sales postion once. I got the job!

The sales manager later told me he had never seen an aggression score as high as mine but that I lacked tenacity. He was worried that if I didn't believe I would be successful at a task that I would be much less likely to attempt it or that I would not stick at it long.

I told him the test was probably right but to bad it didn't measure my confidence.

Cali June 26th- July 14th be there or be.......

After you get all the hot babes out of your system, you will start looking at different qualities in a women.
Everyone matures at a different level, just a fact , not a criticism.

Look how Hollywood guys and pro ball players , many have average looking wives, its surprising.  Because they already got all the babes they could ever want , any time , any place, and now seek a different level.

You're right about that BV!

It is really amazing how guys like Jordan, Marino, Speilberg, Schwarzneger, etc have very ordinary looking wives. Seems like they are usually so overwhelmed and even hunted by super sexy woman that they need a breathe of fresh
air.

Recently, i was shocked when i saw a pic of snoop dogs wife!!!

I doubt it - he was a multi-millionaire well before he met Maria Shriver, and he's probably far wealthier today than any of the Kennedy family members.  After all, hardly a one of them has put in an honest day's work since Papa Joe left them the family fortune.  (And that's a big family living the high life and running for office out of the family warchest.)

Actually, Ahh-nuld is a pretty savvy businessman.  He turned his notoriety and earnings from bodybuilding into a small fortune in southern Cal real estate investment & development by the early 1980's, and then he made a much bigger fortune from the movies.  He is a pretty interesting character - I think it was A&E that did a "Biography" segment on him.  He is driven, calculating, controlling, political and ambitious.

Yes, I remember seeing an interview with Maria Shriver.  She said one of the first things he said to her was, "You have a nice ahzz."

I think Arnold married Maria Shriver for prestiege more than money,he has alot more than her,if there has to be a reason beyond love.He also probably had his share of Bimbos and wanted a smart girl.His ego can handle it.
Arnold is considering running for governor of California.There is a recall effort being made to recall Gray Davis.If they get the required signatures,and I  think they will,and the vote is to recall Davis, whoever of the challengers gets the most votes,democrat or republican,is the new governor.I think Arnold would be the top vote getter unless Condolisa Rice decides to run.
But,I think his steroid use will bite him in an election.It would be interesting to see how he handles it.
I think he would have the guts to challenge some really rediculous enviremental things California is doing.We have to have a special gasoline,even though the air gets cleaner every year.We don't have the refinery capacity and there is always a shortage that drives prices up.Then they add MTB's,which we find out are worse.It costs money to switch to the MTB's and more money to switch back.

Besides being born with one of the most amazing bodies of modern times, he has such focus and vision.  He has been planning this foray into politics since the Bush 1 era.  He didn't rush and he doesn't let the issues at hand force his position.

I don't know what kind of governor he would make.  I would hope that he would try getting things and not make the mistakes of some leaders such as Goveror Davis and let issues move him instead of moving the issues.

I guess the biggest issue is the state is 58 billion dollars in debt.  Gov. Gray will be raising the motor vehicle fees.  They should triple.

Davis didn't really create the problem any more than Bush created the national recession.But California law requires a balenced budget,so he can just increase the deficit like Bush.
The biggest knock on him,other than the state of the economy is he shamelessly uses his power as governor to help himself politically.
Yeah,it will be a tax increase of some sort,or big cuts in services.I bet I could pick the services to be cut,I immagine we are still doing alot of things the government need not be involved in.I know I could chop the federal budget real fast,getting rid of that 40 billion we spend to guarantee farmers a more profitable situation,and raising the cost of food and decreasing exports of food in the process.
Not likely in the vote buying binges of recent elections.
I think we need to dump the electoral college.A persons vote should really count regardless of the prevaling sentiment of his state.

I think the electoral college is here to stay.  The smaller less populated states will never agree to get rid of it.

Some been married to the same hot woman for quite some time.  Correct me if I am wrong:  Will Smith, Eddie Murphy,
Tom Hanks, just to name a few.

I guess it would depend on your definition of a hottie...

Although attractive, I would not consider Tom Hank's wife, Rita Wilson, a hottie... And Will Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, is attractive, but to me, no hottie... Having never seen Eddie Murphy's wife, I will reserve comment...

Sorry, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
