Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

What a lovely weekend! The lady's folks came into town and we hung out with them pretty much the whole time including a trip to Cafe Bar Bar Reeba and Harry Caray's. Nom nom nom. Bar bar was fantastic as we tried out new dishes, downed Sangria and laughed while introducing her parents to Spanish tapas. It was hilarious to hear her mom react to specific dishes "Oh no I don't like that" and it was great to see how much they got into the entire experience. We will definitely be going again. Other than that on Sunday we were able to get up early and get in our grocery shopping. We have become pros at Trader Joe's making the trip quite enjoyable. Thanks to Insanity we know what to get and how much to get as well...more about Insanity later, however the lady broke her camera, so no pics (insert sigh of relief here). Here are your highlights: Losing faith in America's future An answer to your transportation woes? Goodbye Sweet Lou - the Hall of Fame awaits, than...

I have a busy day today, so nothing but sucking blogging will ensue. The in laws are making an appearance and we are heading to this afternoon's Cubs game. Go Cubs Go! Too bad they have had an abysmal season thus far. Too bad my favorite player Derrek Lee was traded. Too bad, ah I can't too upset it's only baseball, right? Right? Well yes I am right because football has begun and I can't to HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!! This weekend is the end of the 60 grueling days of Insanity . I can't wait to have a margarita with my lady and relax...only to start all over again. I hate it, but I love it. What's on your weekend notebook? Here are your highlights: Kentucky you are just plain stupid. Mosque hate in the bluegrass state . Cleaning up the Chicago River . We deal with enough of Daley's crap, it's about time we stop swimming in our own. Just picked up the latest CHEW . Al Franken gives a textbook example on how to deal with the Park51 non-troversy Appeasing the ...

The hump is here! That means only four workouts left in this INSANITY ! I can't believe it, almost sad, but I will press on and continue the harder workouts next month. I am honestly psyched to relax. It wouldn't hurt to sip some Gin, kick back and have a PIZZA AND SOME DIM SUM ! I am craving some good old fashion Chinese food. Seriously I crave it fortnightly and this INSANITY has been cramping my heritage. Big time! The one thing I regret is not taking our measurements at the beginning. The lady looks amazing. She seriously is trim as can be, I still have a little ways to go, but not gonna lie the results are satisfying. I will share next week! Here are your highlights: Blago guilty on one count . Supposedly he barely made it out on most counts. Retrial expected = more golden reality tv. Is anyone in the mainstream media going to call this out? News Corps aka Rupert Murdoch puts his cash directly in the GOP's pocket Magnetic mega-stars challenge black hole theory Graffiti...

Reminder to the Right : It was not the entire Muslim religion that attacked the U.S. on 9/11. Sullivan : I am actually heartsick about this. That the official right is now engaged in exactly the kind of thing that empowers Islamism, alienates moderate Muslims and betrays core American values is a deep sign of the cultural and moral rot we face. Dorothy Rabinowitz asserts that there is no need to restate America's commitment to religious liberty, while arguing that, in this case, it doesn't stand. Her case - in which "demagoguery" is now the work of those defending American values and in which "piety" means resisting bigotry - is a study in how the right came to embrace torture, a dictatorial presidency and now, restrictions on minority religions rather than the inheritance of the West. They are the unwitting allies of the Jihadists; and they want a war with an entire religion. It may even win an election or two, I suppose. The walls of tolerance and unders...

Mayor Bloomberg . Perhaps this will put an end to the nefarious ignorance being spewed by the Right on this particular subject. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message Update : Apparently I should have prefaced by saying I don't normally say this about Bloomberg
