Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

It's things like this that lead me to believe...we're headed toward an Idiocracy. TPM: Representatives from 10 rural Colorado counties met this week to draw up plans for a 51st state they call "North Colorado," where they dream gun and oil laws will be more lax, Denver television station KCNC reported. The secessionist movement grew out of its organizers' frustration with state lawmakers passing restrictions on guns and the oil and gas industry, as well as raising renewable energy standards for rural co-ops, according to KCNC. The counties would need the approval of voters, the Colorado General Assembly and U.S. Congress to secede and form "North Colorado," according to the television station. Should the secession plan fail, county commissioners could propose a ballot initiative that would alter the state Senate so that each of Colorado's 64 counties would have its own senator to represent its interests. “We need to figure out (a) way to re...

Yesterday was a nice Hallmark day. The wife surprised me with a gift of Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Rye . It's mighty nice. I gifted her a scarf from one her favorite stores and made a delicious (if I do so say myself) scallop and italian sausage pasta dish. Recipe available upon request ;) On another note I disabled comments a while back because I was getting too much spam. If anyone knows how to bring that option back in this here archaic interface let me know! Or email me frank.chow.pundit - gmail. Thanks buddies!

I woke up this morning to some clinking and clamoring in the kitchen. The next thing I knew I was presented with dark chocolate pancakes in bed. Sometimes these Hallmark holidays work out in a man's favor. I'm truly a lucky guy. Hope your Valentine's Day goes just as well! Here are your highlights: Encouraging jobs report The GOP has gone overboard, Trouble for Hagel nomination Tesla v. the NYT A love song by Rhye Pelosi House Speaker again?

The wife is off on a work trip, so I'm in SM alone -- writing -- and then working. This weekend was not long enough. I'm beginning to look for new work with hopes of finding a similar schedule where I can keep auditioning and such. Over the weekend I tried the impossible -- I tried to watch the Sunday Shows...I lasted a whole 30 seconds before I wanted to throw the tv through the window. Needless to say I quickly turned on a movie and saved myself the pain. Here are your highlights: Immigration reform has movement , the problem? It's still being done in archaic fashion. Climate Change -- we're looking at it being "far worse" The insular Republican world Gun nuts are nutty Lucas Matthysse made a statement, who's next? Red State America - profits on the backs of those with no health insurance -- awesome... Chow!

I've got a busy day lined up.  Gonna make it happen! Here are your highlights: Obama to unveil gun plan Which obviously makes him Saddam Hussein ! Shovel ready projects . Economics durr... The Republicans plan isn't to come back to the center a bit, it's to steal elections Korean Resource Center has an internship opening Matt Yglesias Smackdown - the Very Important People are wrong about Social Security Chow!

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. The week is just beginning, but I have a feeling those in charge really wish it was Friday already. You? 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!

A new week and new goal setting. The lady and I found out yesterday that 2013 is the year of friends' weddings. We received in the mail a couple of Save the Dates starting the fun in June. Now the key is to figure out a way to afford all the travel. Two in Central Illinois, one in Michigan and one in New Mexico...anyone else want to get married? Do it in California! I kid, we're excited, but boy is this gonna be another busy year. Here are your highlights: The Republicans Support Starting a Recession Obama is fed up proclaims "We are not a deadbeat nation" Freedom isn't free 10 year old found responsible in neo-Nazi father's death San Diego Mayor comes out in support of medicinal marijuana  Chow!

I have a new headshot shoot tomorrow. I'm both excited and nervous. I've never been very comfortable one on one with a camera. In this case a lot rides on the success of the shoot. According to the very important people, a good headhsot can change your rate of auditions. Heck sometimes it's solely based off of your picture. It's a silly and shallow business, but I gotta do what I gotta do. 2013 is about focus. This is the beginning. Here are your highlights: Obama to nominate Jack Lew to Treasury Secretary Genius idea in Utah and by genius I mean the dumbest thing I've read all day. Mandated gun ownership GOP strategy BLOCK Housing continues to improve National Cathedral opens to same-sex marriage And Conan wins the day! Chow!

Morgan Freeman. Who you got? *dropsmic Here are your highlights: Nothing but Sleaze The Romney Tax plan details all in one click Ryan's bizarre photo-op What will Romney say tonight? He very well could say anything Corporations are people! Redskins Stars Make Them Legit Chow!

Lots of people getting hidden on Facebook today. If I read one more comment asking for war in Libya or Egypt, or asking for some kind of retaliation I might just throw my Timeline through the friggin wall. Have we learned nothing from 9/11 or did we forget? Or do we all now think the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were all because of 9/11? Don't answer that, I might get depressed. Instead I'll listen to happy songs. Here are your highlights: Romney's classless response to the Attack on the Libyan Embassy A double downgrade? The IPhone 5 revealed Don't tell anyone, but Obamacare is already working CTUStrike! It's time to start watching the predictions closely, Five Thirty Eight Marc Ambinder on Libya Chow!

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS! What can I say that hasn't already been said ? I was lucky enough to catch most of the first half at Joxers Daly's in Culver City. It is a full on Redskins haven there and it was like being at home. RGIII was so poised, so accurate, so bad-ass, that it's hard not to fully buy into the hype. The kid crushed it in his debut and the team had an entirely different swagger. It'll be interesting to see how this season plays out, how the team will handle adversity and what won't RGIII accomplish. As of right now, I'm riding high with Redskins pride. It's the dawn of a new era. HTTR! Here are your highlights: At this point, it should be expected the GOP won't change a bit if Obama is reelected The Company Romney Keeps Ladies: Wine purses... First Listen: Grizzly Bear Rahm Emanuel still a colossal prick, support the Chicago Teacher Union The negative bounce for Romney , a first Welcome back to the blogosphere Marc Ambinde...

I have a meeting in an hour. Gotta go gets ready! Here are your highlights: Romney & GOP Pull of Penn & Michigan ...either they know something we don't or they are folding awfully soon. Might be the biggest fail of the year, Facebook doing worse than Twitter in ad sales Gabby Giffords to lead pledge Make your horse into a DRAGON!  The disgusting GOP pundit reaction to Sandra Fluke's speech Desktop Wallpapers for your puter Chow!

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

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!

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!

(h/t Paddy K) Thursday? Already? Man, these days are blurring. The lady and I are less than two months away from our big day and the planning is now down to the gritty details. I'm making song lists for the dj, figuring out tuxes and itineraries for the day. I'm waiting for a suit to get transferred in, so I can be fitted. It's all crunch time, go time...and I'm pumped. In other news, I'm resigning with my agent this weekend, contracts and all. Good things to come. Good things. Here are your highlights: U.S rethinking Chen Guangcheng's wish to stay in China, official says Ashton Kutcher is a complete idiot. Also too, NOT funny . Junior Seau, football great, found dead by apparent suicide . TNC calls it quits with the NFL . Modern day gladiators. No, you don't understand the unemployed or the recession one bit Lance Roberts, wanksta And for a laugh, Worst X-Men tattoo ever Chow!

I'm back to work and then off to a cool workshop for writers and actors. I'm trying to balance my new work schedule with my other priorities. It so far hasn't happened, but I'm excited today to run around like a mad man. I've got to head out! Here are your highlights: What if Trayvon Martin Swung First? Republicans now want to take credit for things they had nothing to do with Olympia Snowe bitter and old Get ready, it's time to reveal the WANKER OF THE DECADE Michelle Malkin has been particularly terrible in the Trayvon Martin case Hey Gold Standard People, It's A Really Bad Idea Chow!

This by John Cole sums it up. Regardless if you'd like to hear the legal arguments for and against the individual mandate, it's of no consequence. The Roberts' Court does what it wants, even if it contradicts what they've written in the past, said in a speech or whatever. It's about "drowning the government in the bathtub" and these scholarly asshats are more than happy to play their part, robes and all (fuck I'd bet they'd wear wigs if they could get them sewn by the little people). Obamacare, should be a welcomed change in our country. We have mediocre health care at best in America and the private insurance companies gauge us at every turn. Anything to rein in the insurance companies even a little bit, whether it's covering recent graduates or pre-existing conditions is a solid improvement. Nope, it's socialism. Obama is ruining our country!!! Kenyan! Donald Trump proved he's from there! GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MEDICARE!! THIS WHEEL...
