Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

Tomorrow night two of my favorite fighters in boxing will finally meet in the ring in Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley . I have read every article possible and every analysis and I will certainly after writing this change my opinion the very last minute up to the fight. I am torn for one, second there are many variables that contribute to this blockbuster match up. Regardless I am going to give you a prediction as promised as much as it pains me. A look at Mayweather : Mayweather is hated. I get that, however it is a persona and despite what other writers have experienced from the man himself, I do think it is pure politics. Putting that aside the intangibles are in favor of Mayweather. I give a slight edge to him in speed. When it comes to ring generalship Mayweather can make a ring appear much larger with his defensive capabilities and slickness. He also has the favor of being the younger of the two fighters. Throughout his entire career when the spotlight has been on him Mayweather...

He is always right : No, I haven’t lost my mind — that’s not what I believe. But you know that’s what the talk-show hosts will be saying soon, if they haven’t already started. The only question is what the story will be. Will it be claims that liberals and/or scientific conspirators sabotaged the rig, to undermine good Americans who want to drillheredrillnow? (Michael Crichton already wrote that novel). Will it be that oil workers, demoralized by the march of socialism, fell into despair and let the accident happen? Will it be claims that since this didn’t happen under Bush, it obviously shows that Obamanomics is responsible? I don’t know. But you know something along these lines is coming.

McClatchy : State Rep. Leo Berman this week said he's planning to file several immigration-related bills once Texas lawmakers get back to work in January, including one that requires presidential and vice presidential candidates to prove their citizenship to the Texas secretary of state before their names are added to the ballot. This is similar to one provision in the immigration law recently approved in Arizona. "We'll do it," said Berman, R-Tyler, and a former Arlington mayor pro tem. "We'll do it from now on. If he can't prove citizenship ... he won't have a place on the Texas ballot." Berman was referring to President Barack Obama, whose birthplace has been questioned by some since before he took office. Although his campaign produced a birth certificate that shows Obama was born in Hawaii, some speculate that he was actually born in Kenya, where his father lived. Last weekend, Berman told a crowd in Tyler that he believes "Barack Obama...

LA Times : "After careful consideration of all the concerns expressed during the lengthy review and consultation process and thorough analyses of the many factors involved, I find that the public benefits weigh in favor of approving" the project, Salazar said Wednesday in Boston. "With this decision we are beginning a new direction in our nation's energy future, ushering in America's first offshore wind energy facility and opening a new chapter in the history of this region." The Boston Globe was the first to report the administration's decision Wednesday online. Federal approval will put Cape Wind in line to become the first U.S. offshore wind farm -- assuming it clears a flurry of lawsuits expected to follow the decision -- and set the stage for similar projects along the East Coast, the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico.

Progress Illinois : Illinois' own Rep. Luis Gutierrez is on bit of a warpath these days. It started back in March, when the Chicago Democrat raised a legitimate stink over the final health care reform bill's restrictions on undocumented immigrants. In the wake of the health care fight, the immigration debate has resurfaced and he is putting increased pressure on his D.C. colleagues to act on comprehensive reform. On Sunday, Gutierrez traveled to Phoenix to protest Arizona's new draconian immigration law, which essentially institutionalizes racial profiling by requiring police officers to question anyone they "reasonably suspect" of being undocumented. Gutierrez called the measure a "civil rights catastrophe." He even suggested that tourists cancel summer vacations to Arizona in solidarity with the state's Latino population. More here .

It hasn't even passed go and they are blocking like Dikembe . This does send a clear message the Republicans loves them some Wall St. Wall St. is toats awesome to Republicans. They practically share beds. Meanwhile, the new disingenuous argument from the Minority Leader John Boehner is that there is "credibility gap in Washington." Sounds about right, but Boehner goes on, "Democrats are saying one thing and doing something else." Steve Benen with the takedown : For one thing, for Republicans to talk about a credibility gap is to lead with their chin. We're talking about a party claims to care about fiscal responsibility, but added $5 trillion to the debt. They claim to be experts on national security, but they bungled two wars and saw 9/11 and other attacks happen on their watch. ...

Atrios : The problem with media fact checking is that they almost immediately move to " everyone's full of it ," while either nitpicking or just trying to make up falsehoods where none exist. They need to highlight clearly false claims that are actually important, instead of making the exercise unhelpful by reaching to find completely unimportant, irrelevant, or even nonexistent falsehoods. Right. You shouldn't have to fact check facts. I would add one thing that Atrios doesn't mention. Clinton was a Democrat and therefore in the eyes of the established media his presidency had to prove itself legitimate . He spent eight years deflecting nonsense including their obsession with his underpants . The exact reverse applies to Republicans. Example: George W. Bush won and Al Gore was a poor hippie loser . It only makes sense then to see if what ole Billy said was true or not. This type of narrative is the unfortunate norm for our media, but to even suggest it is conside...

Some laws are idiotic . And some laws such as the death penalty are controversial. This, however is archaically dark : Utah is set to execute a convicted killer by firing squad in June after a judge agreed Friday to the inmate's request for the method, renewing a debate over what critics see as an antiquated, Old West-style of justice. Ronnie Lee Gardner, 49, was given the choice of being killed by lethal injection or shot by a five-man team of executioners firing from a set of matched rifles, a rarely used relic that harkens back to Utah's territorial history. "I would like the firing squad, please," Gardner told State court Judge Robin Reese Friday morning, after Reese told him his avenues for appeal appear to be exhausted. Gardner, 49, was sentenced to death for killing an attorney 25 years ago during a failed escape attempt and shootout. Of the 35 states with the death penalty on the books, Utah is the only one to use the firing squad as a method of execution sinc...

Or something... Digby on Obama's speech to Wall Street : Is Obama's Wall Street speech supposed to be some kind of Sista Soljah moment? If so, is that a good idea? I suppose it is if you think it's good that people perceive Obama as a friend of bankers who can give them a little scold and they'll feel badly enough to do better. Oh well, I guess the impression that he's in the belly of the beast telling his friends that they are going to have to change the ways is better than nothing. But I think this would have been more politically useful if he actually went in their faces or if he'd given the same speech before a different audience. This avuncular approach seems more designed to make sure Wall Street doesn't stop donating to the Democratic Party than anything else. I have a sneaking suspicion that the fuss Wall Street's putting up isn't quite as sincere as one might believe. They don't like it, of course, but they aren't so lost in their ...

Tim Ferholz of TAPPED has some promising new developments in the Senate : Senators Sherrod Brown, Ted Kaufman, Robert Casey and Sheldon Whitehouse are introducing a new financial reform bill, the Safe Banking Act of 2010, to limit the size of the banks -- and, in the process, break up existing firms. Stressing the need for more competition among smaller banks and increased business lending, the senators believe that the largest financial institutions present too much risk to our economy to keep them around. They have the support of the Main Street Alliance, a group of progressive-leaning small business owners who have advocated for strong financial reform and set themselves up in opposition to the Chamber of Commerce. The bill's central points: * Imposing a strict 10 percent cap on any bank-holding-company’s share of the United States’ total insured deposits * Reducing the maximum amount of non-deposit liabilities at financial institutions (to two percent of United Stat...

This is disheartening, TPM : The White House and Senate Democrats have somewhat different talking points, with the White House more focused on the need for swift action, two years after the financial collapse nearly brought down the U.S. economy, and Senate Democrats doing the yeoman's work of drawing a distinction between themselves, and the pro-Wall Street, status quo oriented GOP. That's not nothing. And maybe the GOP's filibuster will fizzle. If it doesn't, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT), the Democrats' top financial reform negotiator, says they'll continue negotiating and bring the bill up for more cloture votes, putting Republicans on the record again and again. But thus far, the response isn't shaping up to be the full frontal assault you might have been expecting. As Josh Marshall says "Dems apparently have no Plan B." I think this is about right, although you could call "sticking your thumb up your ass" as a viable Plan B...I am sure ...

Nothing like a little fraud to open up the flood gates. Goldman Sachs is finally getting their due justice thanks to teh SEC. Felix Salmon : With this suit, the SEC has finally uncovered the real scandal behind the Abacus deals. The NYT tried , back in December, but it didn’t quite get to the nub of the story — although Paulson was mentioned in the NYT story as someone who was generally short the subprime market, there was no indication that he played any role in structuring the deals. Neither was there any mention of ACA. The scandal here is not that Goldman was short the subprime market at the same time as marketing the Abacus deal. The scandal is that Goldman sold the contents of Abacus as being handpicked by managers at ACA when in fact it was handpicked by Paulson; and that it told Abacus that Paulson had a long position in the deal when in fact he was entirely short. Goldman Sachs has lost more than $10 billion in market capitalization today, in the wake of these revelations. Goo...
