Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

Sorry for the absence this morning I am at a conference in downtown Chicago. Needless to say I am learning how to take over the world! The weekend was full of fine tail gating with the lady and enjoyable grilling. One thing that did suck was the Redskins...man I will be surprised if the Skins make it to 4 wins this year if they fail to keep a 15 point lead RRAAAAAGGEEEE!! The Panthers are no world beaters. Light and sucky blogging for the rest of day, so suck on this. Here are your highlights: Nobel Prize in economics awarded to a woman !

If they get a wreath though so should Americans who fought through much more dire and diffic...

In “My Personal Credit Crisis,” Edmund L. Andrews brings to light the human nature of the housing and credit crisis. It is often forgotten that there are stories out there whether individuals or family that reflect the naivety of homeowners and the draw to live the “American Dream.” We have become a society obsessed with a grandiose ideal that America is a house with a white picket fence waving to our neighbors every morning like Jim Carrey’s Truman .

Actual people, who...
