Obviously, that marriage won't last and she'll make even more money once divorce court is in session. Of course with all of that money being made, she'll manage to cheapen the institution of marriage along the way.<br />
<br />
I hate that whole family and all of the moral emptiness that they offer to America. Reality TV is genocide to creativity. Yes, I'm guilty of being on VH1's Tough Love but me being on there was to poke fun of what a bunch of losers those idiot chicks are and also my friend works on the show and he begged me to be on it.<br />
<br />
Their success is totally a reflection of our culture and the nation's moral decline. We lose Steve Jobs and we're stuck with the Kardashian family. America is fucked.Franky Arriolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605916002247114041noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484802068987525987.post-72084560388159354572011-10-31T17:52:00.000-07:002011-11-14T12:08:31.375-08:00Publicité "Verres Vision Ordinateur" Optic 2000<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iOYmUrfJ6RA?fs=1" width="480"></iframe><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">On a side note - It's funny yesterday was the 3rd Sunday in a row where I drank all day at the Standard bickering about politics with one of my right-wing friends. My friend keeps saying "Obama is looking more like Jimmy Carter every day" which will make this next Sunday more fun when I can tell him that Obama looks more like the guy that shot Bin Laden in the eye.</span>Franky Arriolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605916002247114041noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484802068987525987.post-14311704453521552532011-03-30T07:56:00.000-07:002011-03-30T07:56:53.327-07:00Trump 2012Can Donald Trump already stop with his stupid publicity stunt that he's running for President? It doesn't help that his "family values" spiel is against gay marriage yet he has been married 3 times along with enough mistresses that NYC can give them their own borough. It's time he returns to overrated gaudy real estate. Which by the way, if he ever got elected, he would reinvent the White House to his own liking which would be black and gold with a giant lion statue on the front lawn.Franky Arriolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605916002247114041noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484802068987525987.post-59089366519616317222011-03-24T06:55:00.000-07:002011-03-24T06:55:16.316-07:00Tony Robbins: Why we do what we do, and how we can do it better<iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Cpc-t-Uwv1I?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div><br /></div><div>I'm off to my first Tony Robbins seminar this weekend.

He's got a ton of things going against him like the economy, deficit, war, etc but the Republican party doesn't have strong candidates nor do they seem eager to run against him. During the last two election cycles by this time in 2003 and in 2007 there was plenty of people already raising money and openly campaigning.<br />
<br />
Today John Thune announced he's not going to run (GOP had high hopes for him) and even Mike Huckabee said running against Obama is going to be tough (he might not even bother to run). Haley Barbour can't get a vote outside of the Deep South and obviously Sarah Palin won't seriously end up running. Mitt Rommey and John Huntsman have a good shot but they are hated by their own party.<br />
<br />
Yes, Obama can have an internal battle in the Democratic party from somebody emerging from the far-left but whoever decides against running will have an uphill battle since Obama's general approval ratings are doing rather well and he's got the black, hispanic, LGBT vote in his pocket along with major donors too.<br />
<br />
I'm curious to see how the Republicans end up picking (if anybody decides to step up to the challenge).<br />
<br />
It's all up to Obama not to fuck this up.<br />
