The Single Dumbest Thing Said

Chuck Todd ladies and gentlemen: After Clint Eastwood went all Leonard Lowe on us tonight, I feel it's only more important to share this moment of stupidity. “Democrats wish they had the diversity of speakers and deep bench [of the GOP] to show America …” As a minority watching an entirely white panel analyze a predominantly white party it's hard not to be insulted. In this case, I find it better to laugh. It may be the dumbest thing said all year. Pat yourself on the back Chuckles. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

At Home Bar - Well Bourbons & Under $30

Image
I'm on a quest for an economically sound bar at home. My financials and my lust for high-end bourbons happens to be a constant and unwanted battle. Recently, I've taken it upon myself to taste and sample a couple of bourbons for my "well" at home as well as a single barrel or small batch under $30. I thought I'd share my some I've taken a liking to and perhaps you all will give them a try next time you're out and about. Well, well, well: Most people find the term well to be synonymous with "cheap", however in my terms I mean it to be "affordable, but satisfactory for an array of drinks." Wordy, I know, but so we're on the same page...I digress...In my search I've picked the brains of some of my favorite local bars and asked point blank "what's your well?" Some have surprised me others have disappointed me, nevertheless I've got my own. Bourbon- the Wells Ancient Age It's cheap $8.99 for a 750ml,...

I'm back! After a much needed vacation to the wonderful city that is San Fran, I'm back. Unfortunately not in one piece...okay one piece, but the night before we left I re-injured my back. The nagging injury that required six months of physical therapy last time. I spent the first night in San Fran with back spasms. No fun. We did, however, get to visit our favorites foodie spots, went to a new one and dined out at the SFFoodFest in the Mission district. I even snuck in a stop at 21st Amendment brewery. Now it's back to the grind and writing lots of writing. Here are your highlights: Lance Armstrong's official statement Chicago violence, 19 shot in one night Chinese-American adoptees Stupid comedian make a stupid racist jokes, gets jumped... Mitt Romney tax cheat? Look, the Gold Standard is a standard of stupid Chow!

To San Fran Chow!

We're heading to San Fran tomorrow and we can't wait. It's been awhile since we've both been able to visit. It'll be nice to have a vacation and get away. I'm a bit burned out. Yesterday, I had a stomach bug...whole lotta no fun, then had to work late. Six days in a row can catch up to you. Today I'm taking it easy and moving at a turtle's pace. San Fran tomorrow! Here are your highlights: Olive branch from Obama to Romney on tax returns Punk rock lives in Russia Rick Scott, your laws are kind of racisty Akira Project Preseason: Redskins v Bears what to watch Back Pocket Memory Sometimes I feel like this country is doomed. Kentucky reaffirms my worries. Chow!

I'm having a Lost marathon since I never watched the show when it originally aired. Then I'll be heading to work. Still not sure if I like the show or if it's an interesting case study. Here are your highlights: If you can't win an election, fix it Ah, the Tea Party aren't they so cute Redskins preseason, position battles Inflation nothing scary ...unemployment on the other hand...our Fed is teh stupid Krugman: Reasonable Republicans?  Chow!

We're heading to San Fran this weekend. I can't wait. If anyone has any suggestions hit me up on Twitter. I'm hoping to hit up the St. George Distillery if I have time. We've made reservations at Incanto , definitely revisiting Comstock Saloon and of course dim sum. I'm sure something historic should be on my list, but every time I go to San Fran it's about the food and drink . For some reason I think that's where the heart of the city is at... Here are your highlights: Mountain lion makes itself at home in Griffith Park Oh he's a "sad Paul Ryan" Romney is too tired to visit Florida, FLORIDA!  Paddy K bait, Zombie Disney A&M gunman Chow!

I've spent the last week up till 2am writing and yesterday I finally got to the final draft stage. It's a relief and a prideful moment. I'm hoping all the hard work pays off. Most importantly, I'm hoping this is just the beginning. This town is funny, but I'm starting to get the hang of it...I need some sleep...won't happen since there's construction outside. Someone needs to invent the silent jackhammer. Here are your highlights: Democrats with spine are fine by me Olympic meme, McKayla Maroney is not impressed First Watch from the above video, Lord Huron Even Romney's farmer friends aren't the average farmer Stimulus works and worked, deal with it Chow!

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy I've almost become exhausted with how much stupid comes from the Right these days. I.E. Moe Lane at RedState or the ever reliably crazy Michelle Malkin . They hate brown people, but love Americans! Lone wolves, lone wolves! We made it to Mars! It's Obama's fault! We love government run space programs! We hate all government programs!! Too.Much.Stupid.  Here are your highlights:   Wade Page, the man who killed 6 Americans in their place of worship, white supremacist  Watch how often you drunk dial   How the Government Creates Jobs  We're really getting screwed by rich idiots  The length of Mitt Romney's lies  Chow!

I've been writing and editing every night for the past couple of days...and drinking bourbon. I think I'm onto something. Here are your highlights: I kind of like this Harry Reid Terribly sad for the Eagles coach Andy Reid Sabotaging the Economy Rubio's odd no taxes for Olympics athletes bill Curiosity lands on Mars!

Yesterday was a good day, I can't say that enough. For lunch, I met up with a new friend and it was the type of lunch where I left inspired and hopeful for the future. Then I had an audition for a play about...wait for it...a comedian, I performed the sides alright, but then I had to do a part of my stand up and it killed. It felt nice to get the jokes out and have a room full of people laughing like that. Most auditions people say hello and get in and get out. Maybe something will come out of this, who knows, but it sure was fun. The lady and I will be going to the Cubs v. Dodgers game tonight with her fellow employees. Haven't been to a game at Dodgers Stadium ever...I doubt being in the box seats will give me that full experience, shoot can't complain. Go Cubs Go! Here are your highlights: Gabby Douglas, Virginia Beach, VA - women's all-around gold medalist! Anaheim residents ask for more from their police force Libertine Men! Scarlet Women! Romney strug...

Howdy! Last night was the CAPE mixer where I bumped into surprisingly some people I knew. It turns out the community is smaller than I thought and it was interesting just to see how many people showed up to the meet and greet. Lots of Asians...I've got more on my plate today, prepping for an audition and heading to WeHo for the rest of the day. Also too, more Olympics! Here are your highlights: Can Towns Bar Chick-fil-A From Opening New Stores for Its Explicit Anti-Gay Stance? HAPA Nathan Adrian wins gold! The Fed will go down as the do-not-enough institution Romney's Plan to Screw the Middle Class It's kind of imperative to have the USPS . Imagine not receiving your basic mail...or how about paying FedEx or UPS even more...it's a shame the GOP keeps making things worse. Chow!

Well today was great as the Olympics was entertaining and I got a nice surprise...the commercial I did in April debuted on the web yesterday. It's kind of surreal and has me even more motivated. I'm heading to CAPE's Summer Mixer tonight, if any of you are planning on going feel free to hit me up on Twitter. Good times. Here are your highlights: Phelps sets medal record But I thought Republicans don't like taxes!! Why does Fox hate white people? Two words: boner pills Real Jurassic Park, hey why NOT?!! Chow!
