Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

Baby, they got our money I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

It's was a great weekend with the family. We got dim sum on Saturday, pre-gamed at my sister's place for the USC/Stanford game, watched the game WHAT A GAME and then yesterday got together in our hood to watch the Skins stink. But all was okay considering I was with family. I miss them already. This week is pretty darn busy and I think I'm going to start looking for different work. Why? I want to make more working less hours, that's why. Last day of the Fall Fund Drive. Thanks to all who've helped along the way! Here are your highlights: 5 observations from the Bills v Redskins game How Republicans hate (D)emocracy Occupy Wall St. changing the conversation Sad but true, Asian-Americans most bullied ethnic group in schools Wallpapers for your desktop Michelle Obama the "angry black woman" is the new meme on the Right. It's getting desperate, could it be the GOP is starting to panic about 2012 already?! Chow! Fall Fund Drive : Please donate if you can ...

The family is in town. Looking forward to seeing them. Yesterday was a great learning experience as I got to sit in on a casting for a film. It was cool to see the other side, hear a director's point of view and see how other actors audition. I think my next audition will be much improved. I just have to keep working. Maintain focus and good things will happen...right? Here are your highlights: BIG OLE PUMPKINS! Fox non-news Michele Bachmann getting asked by her own "party" to bow out of the race Maybe there won't be a double dip after all Obama polling well in Ohio compared to Romney , this is good news Occupy Wall St. continues, as police (who should be on the protesters side) confront them . And Eugene Robinson shows why Occupy Wall St. Has Struck a Nerve Chow! Fall Fund Drive : Please donate if you can & thank you for being awesome!

My Dad gets in late tonight and I gots work all day. I'll be happy to have a day off with the family on Saturday. Chinese food. USC football. Family. Should be teh awesome. Here are your highlights: House GOP members face the "Real World" Rick Perry sucks at debates and so belittle debates Episode 60 of the Matthew Filipowicz Show! Alabama doesn't want teh brown people teh read Akira casting begins... Occupy Oakland, the brutal sight . This is what the 1% wants, to turn the 99% on each other and for what? Why should something so awful happen? Protesting corporate greed, greed in general shouldn't be treated with such hostility. Simply appalling. Chow!

I'm beat, but I'm not down! Why? Well after a bad day on the truck (slow) and an awkward audition where they wanted a Chinese (Mandarin speaking, I don't speak Mandarin) scientist, I realized it's all part of the game. That's just how it goes out here. So to take more initiative I'm getting my learn on. I'll be studying more, hitting the library and doing some observing to improve my own acting skillz. And and and hopefully then I won't be sent on auditions that make absolutely no sense more me. I hope. My Dad and older brother get in town in a couple of days, it's gonna be RAGE-tastic. Here are your highlights: Goldman Sachs board member indicted for insider trading Reality v GOP talking point, guess who wins? If you can't beat them, MAKE SURE THEY CAN'T VOTE John Beck thinking extra practice is a good thing for the Redskins. Agreed Asians behaving badly: Mayor Jean Quan of Oakland takes the side of the police who tear gassed Occupy Oakland...

I've got work early and then hopefully an audition. So without further ado! Here are your highlights: Um, if Pat Robertson thinks you're extreme... The Rick Perry "strategy" Oakland OWS, wtf? Army Ranger Dies on 14th Deployment What exactly is an euphemism? Chow! Fall Fund Drive : Please donate if you can & thank you for being awesome!

It was a roller coaster of a weekend. I feel pretty exhausted, but yesterday was nice and offered some much needed hope despite the Redskin's loss. I'm working doubles the beginning of the week and then my family comes into town. We're going to watch USC play Stanford, eat Chinese food and enjoy some booze. Looking forward to it. I need a stay-cation. Here are your highlights: Is Herman Cain really running for president? They aren't going anywhere, Occupy Wall St. continues steady and strong The unhelpful lionization of small business Romney would be a repeat of Bush We're a Culture, Not a Costume Quick hit analysis of yesterday's Redskins game. Beck played a solid game, the defense was the surprising let down . And yes I think Cam Newton is legit. Chow! Fall Fund Drive : Please donate if you can & thank you for being awesome!

Rough night. Long day at work. I seem to be running on empty the last two days. I tried to sleep in today, however construction and trucks. Lots of trucks. Great bit of background noise for a deadline I have for a voice over gig. Woohoo! FML. It's Friday, so for a lot of you it's the start of the weekend. My weekend isn't till Tuesday. Do I sound teh sad? I feel teh sad. Here are your highlights: Obama announces troop withdrawal from Iraq , it's about damn time Maybe, just maybe our press is learning, Republicans block another Jobs bill Slow uptrend? Hands on with Ice Cream Sandwich HBO developing a "Small Wonder" like show with Asians? One thing you can't deny about Obama, love or hate him, our president has a good heart Chow!

(everything that is wrong w/the media "is it appropriate?" never mind the seriousness of the issue at hand) So I worked the double yesterday. Gots to eat. I spent late last night writing. Penning my latest script idea. I'm in the last swing of things. Hopefully I'll get the first draft done by this weekend...not likely, but that's the deadline I'm setting for myself. I swear if I ever did get a writing gig, I would miss every single deadline. I've been trying to train, get better at it, any ideas on how to train for deadlines? Hope all is rockin, ya'll! Here are your highlights: Report: Qaddafi is dead What have you done today? 100 year old man runs the marathon Unemployment claims show improvement , still not even close to where we need to be If Obama was a Republican, he'd be on "Mt. Rushmore by now" Fall cocktails in LA, 1886 at the Raymond 2010 sucked . Obstruction. Sociopaths. The sabotaging of our country in order to defeat Obama ha...

The Daily Show Get More: Daily Show Full Episodes , Political Humor & Satire Blog , The Daily Show on Facebook I'm a bit fatigued, not gonna lie. I finally had a day off on Monday and spent most of it cleaning the apartment. Yesterday I worked a double, today I was supposed to work another double...luckily I don't have to and am only working tonight. Apologies for missing yesterday's Dunkin, I was rushing about and just ran out of time to read anything. Today I'm here ready to RAGE. There's a lot of stupid out there, be safe, read facts, ignore nonsense and most of all continue being awesome. My Pops & older bro are coming to visit next week. Looking forward to it! Here are your highlights: "Moderates" , I must remind you Obama doesn't have a magic wand over our asinine Congress Occupy Wall St. popular and so are their demands to tax the rich Google Unwraps Ice Cream Sandwich It's a little too early to tell who the GOP nominee will be David...

I slept in. I worked 6 days in a row, with two doubles. I think I needed it. By now I'm sure you've seen most of the links already, so simply enjoy this band rock out. Fall Fund Drive : Please donate if you can & thank you for being awesome! Chow!

I'll tell you what, I'm working all weekend! Yes this is a good thing, despite my exhaustion I need the cash, even if I'm not getting paid much. My hope is within a month to be back to where I need to be and then I can really push my acting, writing and comedy. And yes that includes this blog. I'm ready to rage on some peeps. My lady is heading to San Fran in a couple of days for a work trip. Anyone else have cool travel plans? Let me live vicariously through you! Here are your highlights: Now THIS is killing babies Bloomberg tried to get rid of the dirty hippies with cleaning The WE'RE TAXED TOO MUCH nonsense the Republicans push...absolutely torn down It's back! the Walking Dead The Republicans claim they have a "Jobs Plan", Benen takes a look . While Zandar points out Obama won't get an inch from the Republicans on jobs no matter what Chow! Fall Fund Drive : Please donate if you can & thank you for being awesome!

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy I don't what it is about my hood, but there is always somebody banging, drilling or slamming something...heads out of the gutter! Construction everyday around me and it's loud. So that makes my free lance gig as a voice over guy just a tad bit difficult. Just a bit. I have to focus on that and then off to work tonight. Surrounded by alcohol...hmmmm...I came home smelling like brandy last night. Plum brandy. Here are your highlights: Social media giving opposition insight to Occupy Wall St? Still not getting it. Congress could do something about Foreclosures John Stossel Stupid This should tell you all you need to know about Ben Nelson TBogg wins the day Chow!

Working a double today. Check out the video of my buddy Matt Filipowicz and his media rounds after the Occupy Boston debacle. Great work by Matt telling the story of the protesters. AND notice he didn't call them "dirty hippies" once. Well done. Enjoy your day! Here are your highlights: Occupy Wall St. spreads and a new counter to OWS falls flat... really flat Pretty important, unemployment benefits need to be renewed Wanksta: Dana Milbank Our media is useless Harry Reid finally saying what we know. The Republicans are planning to tank the economy in order to beat Obama and they don't care what happens to America in the mean time. Chow!

Well it's Tuesday and I'm still chuggin along. Apparently I missed a lot last night. At Occupy Boston the police arrested protesters and caused quite a bit of trouble. My buddy Matthew Filipowicz was there and updating people via Twitter. It's crazy how quickly the police surrounded the occupiers. In the video above the most chilling part is a protester being arrested screaming "We are veterans of the United States of America!" It's getting real. Be safe everyone. Be smart. Wish I could be there. Here are your highlights: More on Occupy Boston The GOP candidates has the Weakest of Frontrunners Um real life superhero, not so super in real life This woman is out of her mind or is she? Bjork Jobs, jobs, jobs. If Moderate Dems don't come on board , good luck getting reelected, while GOP plans on something new NO! they don't . Again their mission is to destroy the economy in order to destroy Obama's presidency. Any questions? Chow! Fall Fund Drive : Pl...

I had a surprising day off yesterday. We didn't have a company car and so I didn't have to commute 40 miles for a wine-tasting course. Awesome, actually, because I got to spend the whole day with my lady doing domestic stuff and seeing different parts of Cali. I can't wait to hike the mountains. There's so much of the coast line we've yet to see. Also too, love Santa Monica. Well unless something else comes up I'm working the next six days in a row. Let's do this! Here are your highlights: Krugman on Occupy Wall St., Panic of the Plutocrats Mitt Romney's not the guy you want for president Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh passes away weeks after dreaming about it Supercommittee Stalemate , no surprise here This is Skynet shit, Drones get a virus Occupy Wall St. this is what it's about Chow!

Well yesterday was a nice day off of writing. I banged out 20 more pages on my script and it really started moving. I was up late, but it was worth it. I have to work all weekend at my other part-time job. Training. Stocking. And what not. All of that nature, such as. Also too, it feels like fall here which is a pleasant surprise. I'm listening to Saves the Day and Thrice today trying to feel like I'm in high school again when both bands excited me. What bands do that for you? Have a great Friday! Here are your highlights: Republicans find their voice: turns out it's whiny JOURMALISM, Erin Burnett Should Just Apologize Pre-cut fruit salad now on the food recall list I don't care for Halloween, now though I might just dress up as THIS No wonder the GOP is dying for another candidate, Only 54% can name one Unemployment rate still at 9.1%, the jobs numbers broken down . I was lucky enough to find two part-time gigs. Not everyone is so lucky. In fact the way Congress looks,...

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy Well I hope you watched the fail of our press corps today. Obama talks about jobs, they talk about right-wing fake controversies. *Headslamondesk Jobs, jobs, jobs we need jobs and our press wants to know if Obama can negotiate with Republicans. NEGOTIATE. Have you not been paying attention for the last three years?! Holy hell. Stop.The.Stupid. I can't even go on, I might have a stroke of RAGE!! MADDENING! It's my day off and I already need a bloody mary. Damn. Here are your highlights: R.I.P. Steve Jobs Harry Reid, starting to act like an actual leader The Real Cost of War THE SUN It's growing steadily. Obama even received a question about Occupy Wall St. From Boston to Wichita . Some question the motives or origin, this rant is a lovely retort! Chow! Fall Fund Drive : Please donate if you can & thank you for being awesome!

It's raining in Santa Monica. It's kind of awesome. It hasn't rained since we moved here. So get your hoodie on or Target fleece blanket, grab your Dunkin and read some linkage! Here are your highlights: "The Romney Rule" Obama has a plan and his plan is to get Americans on his side Pass the Jobs Bill Christie not running ...again Roger Ailes stay classy Today is a big day in Occupy Wall St. The protesters are being joined by major unions . The movement is growing and it is getting some much needed attention. Maybe someone in Congress will listen? Chow! Fall Fund Drive : Please donate if you can & thank you for being awesome!

I've got to admit, I watched TRON: Legacy last night and loved it. In fact I might watch it again today. It's not groundbreaking, it's not even witty or super cool, it's that they didn't entirely destroy my childhood and in fact complimented it well. These days in Hollywood that's rare and I appreciate that. In other news I'm working a double today. I start my other part-time job today and then head off to the food truck. I'll be beat, but I need the money! Who doesn't?! The lady and I finally have our engagement pictures and can't wait to share them. They turned out better than we could have imagined...although I'm pretty much an accessory to her beautimous nature. It's Tuesday folks, let's do this! Here are your highlights: Fed Chief Ben Bernanke, yup the economy still sucks Eric Cantor thinks he's not partly to blame for government "dysfunction" Kind of cool, Keynes Speaks Who are the 99 Percent?

I have a six day work week ahead of me...not kidding. It's gonna be interesting to see how I hold up. So the Redskins won...barely...REX GROSSMAN!! Okay by now the Shanahans should know well and good that Rex will throw an interception every game. So why is it with the lead and a solid running game all day (Welcome back Torain Train!), do you throw the ball on 3rd and 3?!!!! UGH!!!! That games was way too close for comfort. Hopefully in the bye week, we fix some of that nonsense...at least we're on top of the division and our defense is still clutch. Phew. Okay now off to work. Hail to the Redskins!!! Here are your highlights: Thanks to Matt Filipowicz for the video above of Occupy Wall St in Boston Republican voter restriction , if you can't win an election just stop people from voting...
