Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

You don't reward bad behavior. Yet here we are post-recession with CEOs and Wall St giants making millions of dollars in bonuses. I don't think they've learned a single lesson and it's disheartening to say the least. So don't reward more bad behavior . *Le Sigh. Just give people jobs or stacks of cash already. This is also how I feel about work right now. Anyway... Here are your highlights: Doctors increasingly mess up your back more Incas drugged their sacrifices Hillary Clinton just got hot The sad state of crazy representatives like Steve King  Economics: Triumph of the Doves The GOP hates the gov't even more so when they're in charge Chow!

John Stewart sums up how I feel right now. Our priorities as a nation are skewed. At least it's Friday. Here are your highlights: Leaks and the First Amendment Interesting archaeological find, Submerged Structure  China's Air Pollution should be a warning to all Our ever failing infrastructure it can be solved you know with gov't action and guess what it CREATES JOBS! Replace gay with black and these responses sound familiar  18th Annual Asian American Showcase in Chicago . This is where my career as a film actor began. It runs May 18-30th. Enjoy! Chow!

Thoughts and prayers go out to those in Oklahoma . If you can donate to the American Red Cross directly and skip all the gimicks. Whenever a natural disaster hits I think of living by the ocean...in California...and when we get an earthquake tremor my heart stops a bit. We're but small specs on this great big planet. Here are your highlights: Meet Virginia: E.W. Jackson , their very own Allen West -- completely nuts Helicopters with money The joke that is the Tea Party About that deficit b.s. Immigration will it die in the House ? Obama at Morehouse has opened up a lot of feelings . It's an interesting debate, one filled with a complex history. Chow!

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!

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!

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'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

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? ...

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!

I was going to do a Dunkin, but I felt most everything being posted today was about the same couple of things; the Pope, State of the Union and Ted Nugent. As many of you know this is the beginning of a special Lent for me, at the end of it, I'll be baptized and confirmed into the Catholic Church. I'll probably be all over the map emotionally, however part of Lent is finding peace throughout the 40 days. As a part of my Lent, this blog will become more positive. It is often easy to get wrapped up in all the negative that swirls about us. We tend to point out differences, rage about our opponents and forget that there's good in this world. It'll be tough for me, I won't lie, Frank loves to rage...I will still probably rage -- nobody's perfect. Today, though is Fat Tuesday, so I'll indulge in some gluttony -- started the morning off with pizza -- and remind all of you tonight, during the President's State of the Union, to play whichever drinking game m...

It's been a busy busy week. We have a big sale on at work and I've been working 6am to 4pm pretty much the past couple of days. I'm exhausted...on top of that I decided, like the genius I am, to begin working out four days a week. No pain no gain. Here are your highlights: Ahead of the SOTU Teachers Unions pushing to the president support voter rights The manhunt for Christopher Dorner , crazy ex-cop and cops shooting the wrong people... Childhood awesome, Calvin & Hobbes A huge blizzard on its way to the East Coast On drones and self-defense Duke University Kappa Sigma "Asian" party , racist and not funny. I knew I hated Duke for more than one reason. On a similar note, a customer came into work the other day and two white women told me they were having a "China" party at work. They asked me for Chinese beer and anything to mix that would be "Chinese." It took everything in my personal being not to ask them what they meant by...

I need a new job, anybody have any leads? Here are your highlights: For Asian-Americans, Immigration Backlogs a Major Hurdle The GOP still has a "47 percent" problem U.S. sues over AB-InBev take over of Modelo John McCain has been wrong about everything, but go ahead and give him more show time I stick with the term gun fetishists  Eliminate the field goal in football?  Chow!

I slept in apologies. Tonight the wife and I are attending the LA Art Show premiere party. We're excited to be attending this classy and unique event. Two newly made friends were kind enough to invite us and we couldn't say no. Granted, I'm going to feel a bit poor and maybe a bit out of place, but I'm always okay playing pretend. Plus we get to view a ton of amazing art, something the Mrs. and I enjoy and don't get to do often enough. Here are your highlights: Hillary Clinton talks Benghazi and it gets a bit heated Rep.

I'm on a writing spree. I've finished two drafts for a new project and onto a third. I've got sketches to complete for the Matt F Show and I might just start blogging more...don't hold me to that.

Here are your highlights: Military suicides hit record high Bring the ole Rahmbo to get the friggin guns bill done Our bumbling Press Corp Weird moment yesterday for the Atlantic and Scientology Alcohol vaporizer... The NRA has always been run by and still is run by Extremists Chow!

Yesterday I had a new head shot shoot with a very talented photographer.  I'm ecstatic about the end result and can't wait to get them out to my agents. Yes, I'll probably share them...eventually. There's some good things happening in 2013 already. A couple of us are slowly developing new projects and the season is beginning for acting again. I've got a feeling...

So I drank too much whiskey last night. Gonna have to take it easy today...lucky me I have work till 10pm. In other news we move in a couple of weeks to our new place. It's a bit older than our current place, but it has charm and it is much more affordable. This will undoubtedly make things a bit easier. I'm looking forward to it just not looking forward to packing up our schtuff. We've gotta lotta schtuff. Here are your highlights: Hell in the Swing States The Nate Silver v Republicans spat explained Romney's sad and pathetic closing argument YES If you can't win, make it harder to vote Jobs Report , the good and the bad Chow!
