Torture for the American Soul I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

Talking Points Memo : A group of big-name musicians -- including Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Bonnie Raitt, Rosanne Cash and dozens of others -- is demanding the White House release information about which songs were played at high volume to punish or interrogate prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.According to the Washington Post, the musicians announced today they support a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by the National Security Archive, a research institute.The government has been blasting detainees with music since 2002. But the current administration says they ended the practice when President Obama took office.Human rights groups call the practice torture. Really? Reznor? I am sorry, but if we are going to torture, let's do it with some actual torturous music. I don't condone torture, but this is the US of A, we have so much crap music the catalog should be endless.

It was a cool fall weekend in Chicago this weekend. Friday kicked off the weekend with a bang, as the lady and I enjoyed dinner with friends and new friends at the delicious Chilam Balam . It is a new BYOB joint with a refined approach to Mexican cuisine, lots of small plates, lots of awesome. We took this weekend to be domestic and visited the mall, enjoyed a burger from Red Robin and hit up IKEA. How I survived, I have no effin clue. On the way though we read about the passing of DJ AM , it was sad to hear a talented dj who recently dodged death pass on. So above is a little musimix of his I found... enjoy. This week is short for me. Gonna take a vacation and go boating with the lady, SUPER EXCITED. It will be nice to get away for one last taste of summer. Here are your highlights: Talking heads this weekend, talked too much about the stupid, The Sunday Morning Come Down Marvel sold their soul to the devil Kevin Drum suggests we get back to basics in the health care debate Fight Roun...

It was a nice and much deserved day off yesterday if I do say so myself. Topped off by a nice night with the Drinking Liberally crew. Apparently I missed a whole lots a bullshizz about torture and more horrible lies about health care. So it was Tuesday as to be expected. Sadly though I woke up this morning and heard of the passing of Ted Kennedy . He will truly be missed and hopefully his legacy will carry health care reform through. It was his final bow on a great and storied career. We need more like Ted Kennedy these days . Rest in Peace.

(probably one of the funniest bits on the daily show in a while) Phew. It is here. Wonder how many times I have written that? This weekend is moving weekend. My lady is relocating to a nice place closer to the Lake, so we will be exhausted by weeks end no doubt. Last night was long and cruel as I was at work four extra hours toiling on the old Photoshop. Ridick, but hey cool creativity never hurts and I got some super secret ninja metal stuff out of the way. ROCK ON. Well if we don't chat today, have a great weekend!

Last night the lady was a little sick so we stayed inside and watched the debacle that is the Real Housewives of New Jersey . Fake boubies, spoiling children and all out RAGE! It was like watching an entire family meltdown up close, but you do not have to comfort your lady when all the shizz hits the fan. Fuggin' awesome. I must say, although I was quite disappointed about the Cross-Town series being postponed and as much as I find these shows terrible for glorifying money, tackiness and in fighting...Teresa flipping out was just about the best thing I have seen on teevee all year. Here are your highlights: Sammy Sosa, a juicer? By now no one should be surprised, but if it was allowed, then why is it called cheating...Proof yet again baseball has not been America's sport for years. It is about time they just printed the list and get the scandal done with. The "Holy Grail" of torture FINALLY, you can have an Optimus Prime head LGBT community keep putting the Preside...

I am excited it is Wednesday. It is Memorial day weekend (which is particularly tough for me) and I will be hopefully spending some time on a boat! With a scarf, shorts and Sperry loafers and selling the f out. Not really, but I will be a on boat most likely and can't wait. I am almost certain getting away from the Mao of Chicago is good for me right now, I swear I was being followed all last night, granted it turned out to be my cousin on his way to the house for dinner, but still Mayor Mao is after me...

CIA never lies ! Bene Nancy Pelosi . Itsa magical Nancy Pelosi means now Newt is respectable and we listen to his words! Hooray Nancy! Lame Italian stereotypical accent here full of distraction and nonsense! Pelosi knew something, no she didn't, no wait she did says the CIA ! It's doesn't change a thing. David Shuster is the only sane one on the tevee today. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message.

WOW it's Friday, thank Jebus. Last night was an awesome show. West Dundee is full of flies and people are sweet there. I was actually told by a family that I would be "famous" in no time after my performance. And no I didn't get them drunk or drug them. This weekend is set to be exciting, I will be attending a Nation of Nets gathering in Chicago, so if you you want to say hello feel free. I am almost certain you will know who I am once you take a look around the room. Here are your highlights: Hawks vs Wings, Chicago vs. Detroit ...well what's left of Detroit.

Show tonight in West Dundee . West Dundee you say? Yes and it ain't no outback. Chicago is now officially the schizo girlfriend that I don't know how to break up with. Last night we had a tornado warning and I wake up today and it's perfect. "What's that dear you want to break both of my arms and tie me to the bed?" Next day..."Good morning! Here is your Dunkin and a nice breakfast sandwich." Not quite my relationship with Chicago, but close, so here ya go!

moar funny pictures The Obama Administration released the "torture memos" from the G-Dub War Chest... Read them here . *Updated link here . I haven't had time to sort through the chicken scratch yet, but expect rage. John Yoo should be embarrassed. Heck they all should be it's certainly something real Americans need to read, but most likely you will get lunac y . CHOW ! Update: There is nothing funny in these memos. Request action . Not sure what to say at this point, but shame comes to mind.

The Dick admits he okayed torture. Now first all I must disagree with his methods, they are awful and disgusting. Second, we ARE AMERICA! What happened to our Constitution? But, can't we come up with more creative ways? Ideas: Have them watch GW talk for hours on end Stare at a pic of the Dick and his daughter, compare, contrast, compare and contrast Hours of Kenny G Episodes of the Hills and someone lip-smacking their food in their ears (MAN I HATE THAT) I am Frank Chow and I approved this message. PS: The Dick should be in jail. Please do something about this. PLEASE. Or hire Bobba Fett, I hear he is reliable.
