Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

I'm so glad it's Tuesday. I hate Monday at work now. I literally stare at a computer all day while still on my feet. It's not ideal. I'm not much of an "office hours" guy, hence the retail career path. On Monday's though it's scheduling and office day in the booze world; it's something I can do without. Today is a day off, time to work out and then write. Here are your highlights: It's refreshing having a Commander in Chief who is not eager to jump into war -- for no good reason The Boston investigation gets wider CNN to release a morning show, "New Day" Bonddad Blog for the win! Take that austerity asshats! Ok, the deficit is not the problem , can we start creating jobs now?! Heartwarming story of the week, an athlete chooses bone marrow donation over his career Chow!

And it's Monday. Already here and back into action. Lots going on that hopefully I'll be able to share in the near future. Till then enjoy these awesome links! Here are your highlights: Too little too late, Justice O'Connor says she kind of sort of regrets her vote on Gore v Bush NBA player comes out Boston bombing: Misha turns up Republicans propose bullet sequester , it might be one of the craziest moves to date Chew doesn't look like it'll be made into a tv show, did racebending have something to do with it?  Former lawmakers research ET A look at the Redskins Draft Chow!

Off to work again. Looks like I might be signing onto a new web series for an episode...cross your fingers! Looking forward to Sunday, some time to rest and beer! Here are your highlights: Jon Stewart on George W. Bush Library When the GOP makes cuts, it hurts our first responders   Boston included Shorter Congress, rich guys can't feel the sequestration pain Worst Idea Ever -- there's a theme this week, we're run by selfish assholes Notes on the economy , housing shows strong signs and yes the gubbament need to spend (see above) NFL DRAFT : The mighty Redskins will be picking today, be on the look out as we build a stronger team around RG3 and our gaping holes in the secondary Chow!

Car is in the shop. Rockin the Nissan Altima rental. Still can't get over my paranoid feeling that there's a contingent of bad LA drivers out to get me. I think I'm becoming a California native slowly, but surely. Here are your highlights: Syria has used "chemical weapons" -- faint smell of the Clinton years Bush Library opens, has everyone forgotten already how bad of a president he truly was? The idea that he gets a library instead of a trial makes me a bit queazy. Kinds of Crazy The cost of being Iron Man 3 Gun debate is barely being debated GOP still going after Obamacare , still not creating jobs. They literally are getting paid to do nothing. Chow!

Yesterday was excellent...except I had a little too much beer. I'll share some pics later. I've gotta spend this morning getting the car checked out. Here are your highlights: The odd ricin case , Elvis is free Friends on the East Coast! Kollaboration New York auditions People on Terrorism Watch List Not Blocked from Buying Guns -- Uhhhhmerica! Photopshop mailer check, photoshop out minorities double-check How the Redskins can sign their draft picks The Right-Wing mindset as so eloquently displayed by Rush Limbaugh NASA for the win! Chow!

The wife is home. The beer can now flow! I kid. Today, a couple of us from work are heading to the Bruery for a tour and tasting. It's one of those cool perks one gets when working for a purveyor of alcoholic beverages. I'll be sure to take a lot of pictures. In other news, I was up way too late writing last night. I'm starting to have achieve a nice pattern in my writing. Yes, I lack sleep, but for some reason it works for me. I'm hoping with diligence I can make big things happen. Cuz, hey "we do big things!" Here are your highlights: Early Thinking: The bombing suspects worked on their own Austerity is stupid and people speak in Gibberish to defend it The Right attack Newtown families and Gabby Giffords - classy Finally, Max Baucus to retire , his legacy will be that of being a puppet for the health care industry California Legalize Marijuana now Cool article about LA's Koreatown Chow!

(I'm obsessed with this song right now. Might even see the movie because of the soundtrack) Well we made it to Monday. How's everyone feeling? Hopefully rested. I'd like to say I accomplished a lot, I did okay. The pages are coming slowly, but surely. The wife comes back from her trip today, so I must clean before work. Duty calls! Here are your highlights: Boston, the investigation continues , were there more attacks planned? Oh look Maureen Dowd is wrong even to an editor of the NRO My friend Ben likes beer and he writes about it Boxing Round Up The futility of blaming Islam Conservative economist will soon by considered an oxymoron This should be said tirelessly -- "Not an Enemy Combatant" Chow!

I drop off the wife at the airport at 6am this morning, went back to bed and slept in. I have no desire to be glued to the tv all day. This has been a dark week, however we've had many bright spots where we're reminded of our human heart. I hope everyone remains safe, no one else gets hurt and we bring this week to closure sooner than later. Here are your highlights: One Boston Suspect At-Large Pacific Arts Movement Spring Showcase April 18-25 The residents of Watertown on lockdown Alvarez v Trout  - I think Alvarez wears Trout down and pulls out a close decision Legislator from Arkansas probably shouldn't be allowed to talk, ever, again We're ruled by cowards Chow!

I've worked nine days in a row. This past week was inventory week and I'm exhausted hence the zero postage. Today is a celebratory day, it's my wife's birthday! Last night we went to a nearby Italian BYOB on Montana Ave, then hit up Yogurtland (one of her favorites). I've still got some tricks up my sleeves for today. Her gift should be arriving soon in the mail and tonight I'm taking her out to eat at a place we've never dined at before...it's gonna be niiiiice. It's a tumultuous past couple of days. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those effected by Boston, Texas and the failure of the gun control bill. We will overcome. Here are your highlights: The cowardice of the Senate and the NRA control of the Senate Starving children , the way of austerity Worst person of the day, Glenn Reynolds aka Instapundit Texas fertilizer plant hadn't been inspected CNN major fail Boston, the aftermath. Obama "A bomb can't...

It amazes me how many of these jerks still have "credibility." We should be shaming them in the public square. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

Exciting fight this weekend. Hopefully I'll get off work on time to catch it. Donaire has cemented himself as the best Filipino fighter on the planet. Sorry Pac-Man, you're still in my heart, but this young kid is strong, fast, has better boxing skills and isn't past his prime. Nonito Donaire has to ice Rigondeaux to make a big statement. Here are your highlights: Gun Bill passes first Senate test The Republicans take Obama's budget , their own proposals and shove it back in the president's face . When will these guys get punished for their dishonesty? Rand Paul at Howard University , not good for the ole "minority outreach" thing Well, if all else fails, blame Zombies Huge recall for car air bags , Toyota and Honda. Be safe people! Chow!

I've been up way too late the last couple of days writing. I'm inspired, but boy am I exhausted. I also closed at work last night and now I gotta go back in less than twelve hours later. Oh boy. I'm going to be the walking dead today. Anyone know how to shoot coffee straight to the vein? Here are your highlights: Chained CPI is just another way for people to raid Social Security The Right hates Melissa Harris-Perry now  Governor Ultrasound Movement on background checks at gun shows? Not going to hold my breath The Republicans keep moving the goal posts TNC has been simply brilliant about the new Brad Paisley song featuring LL Cool J. His latest Against the "Conversation on Race" is excellent. Chow!

My laptop is acting all funky. Gonna take it easy. I think it's burnt out from all the March Madness. Tuesday's normally are no fun anyway. Harrumph. Chow!

I had a solid weekend. Worked. Michigan won. NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP game baby! This hasn't happened since I was a kid wearing too baggy shorts and a Michigan Starter jacket. I'm not gonna lie, I picked against my own team in my bracket. Mainly because my brackets never work out the way I like, but I'm so glad I was wrong. This weekend also marked the first time I went to mass as a Catholic. It was topped off with the wife and I bringing up the gifts. A special moment for the both of us. Then I had a writer's meeting with an accomplished screenwriter to work on my pilot script and guess what? I don't suck! I'm onto something, I just need to make some slight changes, tighten somethings and should have what I want. Not too bad for a weekend, not too bad at all. Here are your highlights: Reid bluffs on the filibuster again Treasury secretary Jack Lew goes to Europe and tells them austerity is stupid -- hmm, shouldn't we be saying the same thing to ourselves? ...

I've got head to work early. Pulling a clopen. Here are your highlights: Obama's risky budget proposal Soon it will be out of place to be an anti-gay marriage Senator Cabinet members take pay cut Federal Judge strikes down restrictions on morning-after pill GO BLUE! Trey Burke wins Wooden Award RIP Roger Ebert , you were one of a kind and you will be missed. Two thumbs up! Chow!

It's Thursday already? I've have a mild week. Work, training new people, running the store and well trying to get my agent to work for me. I'll be switching representation in May no matter what happens this month. I'm writing and hopefully I will be able to share new projects in the summer. Yes, you will finally get to see me in action. And by action I mean zero parkour and zero martial arts. I'm a ninja, I don't show off like that! Here are your highlights: Conn. passes gun control law White supremacists suspected in Colorado killing  I believe our children are the future, take their lunches away if they can't pay ...wait what?! Initial jobs claims explained Arrested Development returns on May 26th "Chink's" sign comes down, local outrage is just as stupid and racist as you would expect New James Blake song Chow!

Work work work. Here are your highlights: New York city of corruption So about that whole separation church and state -- North Carolina is trying to take to another level Why we get nowhere in the gun control debate The Redskins and retention The ever unpopular and shrinking Republican party Chow!

I'm back! It was a special Lent season for me as some of you know. On Saturday I was finally baptized,  confirmed and received first communion at St. Monica's. I am now a Catholic. The journey was trying at times, frustrating even, but my faith only grew stronger. It probably seems odd that someone my age and during these times would decide to become Catholic...on paper sure I can understand that. For me though it made perfect sense. After being baptized I felt a weight lift off my shoulders, I feel young again, full of hope and focus -- all of which can be contributed to my faith. I can't thank those of you who offered support enough. I'm truly blessed with an amazing family (sis drove from San Diego to sit through a three and half hour mass). A special thanks to Paddy K for his guidance and patience as I worked through the journey. And a very special thank you to my wife, my sponsor who without which I wouldn't be half the man I am today. If anyone has questions o...
