Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

I'm on YouTube folks ! That's right, after much consideration I finally decided to start uploading videos to YouTube. Most will be comedic videos for the awesome Matthew Filipowicz Show , however some will be random fits of rage. Here's the inaugural video, " Romney for Real ", check it out and some great interviews on the Matthew Filipowicz Show and don't forget to become a member. Oh and "like" the video if you sincerely do! Thanks for your support! I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy All right so yesterday was a wash. I can't dwell on it, I just have to figure out how to do better in awkward interview settings. Today is wedding focused day. Skyping with a possible DJ, looking at invites and sending out more "HEY WE'RE GETTING MARRIED" stuff. I think this whole married thing is one of the few things I look forward to daily. Here are your highlights: Asian Americans to the Suburbs Um, Blake Griffin with the slam of 2012 GOP isn't becoming less extreme just because Romney is running, in fact they are still very much extreme Little bit of jockeying here, but Twitter CEO says this is the year of the Twitter Election Florida Primary is in the bag it seems , but Newt won't quit. Hope he doesn't, cuz it will sure be entertaining! Chow!

This is simply awesome. Washington Post : Every work week Brandon Skall and Jeff Hancock of DC Brau shovel about 1,500 pounds of soggy grain out of their mash tun. Left to itself, this used-up barley (it resembles “dehydrated oatmeal,” according to Skall) would begin to fester, turning sour and smelly in a day or less. None of it goes into the city’s sewer system, assert Skall and Hancock. Their usual modus operandi is to donate their leftovers to local farmers, who use for it for composting or, more commonly, for livestock feed. (“Cows are number one,” says Skall, but goats and poultry like it as well.) To celebrate Martin Luther King Day, the partners set their sights a few links up the food chain and decided to turn their waste into bread for the city’s indigent population. The day after the holiday, Skall and Hancock sealed five gallons of spent grain in a food-grade plastic bucket and rushed the grain, still warm from steeping in hot water, to Pizzeria Paradiso, which turned it i...

Aight, it's Monday. New week, tons to do. I'll be hunkered down in mi casa recording new skits for the Matthew Filipowcz Show . Don't forget, if you haven't already, become a member and support independent radio! I'm kind of out of whack today since I worked all weekend. Forgive me for the links are gonna be random. Here are your highlights: A Google A Day Puzzle Fox News gets PWN'D by Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy Sorry, I have no desire to see Sonnen v Silva nor Evans v Jones , also Sonnen lost in a way that Silva should revel in. Why give the man another chance, when you can hang a "I almost had him" over the prick for the rest of his life? Here's a novel concept, IF you Take Taxpayer Money BOTH SIDES!!! Chow!

It's Friday, we should be recording the next episode of TAT. Thanks to all who wrote into us, sorry it took so long to organize ourselves...also too, jobs. I'm kind of exhausted today. I woke up in the middle of the night with an anxiety attack. Some kind of bad reaction, so I'm beat. But we press on. Here are your highlights: Atheist teen stands up for her rights , supposed "religious" folk threaten her. School prayer done. I find the Newt Moon proposal fascinating Sweatpants dresspants ...I think Ralph Lauren tried these a little while back...don't know if they'll catch on Animal rescue shelters and their odd nature UFC: The Pro Picks, Evans v. Davis . I think Evans experience will play a big part in the fight, but Davis might just be too big and athletic...and he's no slouch either. Gonna be a good one! Chow !

I've really got nothing. It's supposed to get to 80 today and I'm retaking my headshots because, although the pics were great...apparently they weren't "commercial" enough. In other words, cheesy. More cheese, Frank! Here are your highlights: We should all be uncomfortable with a drone heavy military St. Ronnie A brutal story of "Patriotism" Gingrich to the MOON!! It's the economy, and if people feel better they're most likely to keep the president in offic e Chow!

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy I have an interview today. I'm not confident as I have to go to Chicago when they want me to start work, however making it past the phone call is a positive sign. Gotta be positive! As for the State of the Union last night, you can read all my rants and jokes on Twitter . I had a fun time, thanks to Asian Pacific Americans for Progress for setting up the hashtag. I, also wanted to say, I made the mistake of going to Facebook after the speech...my friends there make me teh sad. Maybe we deserve Gingrich as president...I kid...that would be AWFUL. Obama 2012! Here are your highlights: Watch the State of the Union , in case you missed it This is what I deal with daily as an Asian-American actor Congrats to Steve Benen as he moves onto the Rachel Maddow Show! A graph making it simple, Obama jobs Mitch Daniels fail Cool as a cucumber, that's how I would describe Barack Obama last night, especially after fin...

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy (Thoughts and prayers out to Mark Kirk and his family) Mitt, Mitt and more Mitt. Wanna know why Mitt Romney didn't want to release his tax records? He made more money during a recession than there are unemployed people in America....he has millions to spare, so much so he had it stashed in Swiss bank accounts...until it was totally taboo to do such a thing. When people say Romney is out of touch, this is what they mean . He's a Richie Rich. A product of nepotism, a vulture capitalist and he's proof of everything that is terribly wrong in our tax system. There's nothing presidential about taking advantage of every loop hole, while having the audacity to joke that you're "unemployed." Here are your highlights: Heejun John Wayne... sometimes it's better for actors to simply leave behind their movies Tennessee Tea Party, what slavery? Amaaaazing, license plate Inflation is fine Ri...

Well, we're back and I must say our trip to the Santa Ynez Valley was beyond expectations. The scenery, people and wine made the experience one my lady and I will never forget. It was a much needed get away since we've now dived head first into wedding planning. Only 5 months away! We ended up kind of whimsically traveling around to different vineyards, most from recommendations from friends and locals, it was the way to go for us. By Friday night we didn't want to leave, we did, however come home with eight (the last pic) souvenirs ;) I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship with Santa Barbara wine country. Here are a few pics from the trip, hope you all had a great weekend! Solvang, CA A list of vineyards we visited: Bridlewood Estate Winery Rusack Winery Rideau Vineyard Lincourt Vineyards Stolpman Vineyards Chow!

My lady this Christmas got us a short get away to SB. I'll be there the next two days. Don't do anything stupid. Miss me. Chow!

It's full on wedding planning time. The lady and I are getting hitched in less than 6 months and we're just awaiting the Save the Dates to put it in full gear. Designers...always behind schedule. Anyway, we're pumped and taking a mini-vacation on Thursday to wine country in Santa Barbara. Hopefully it will give us some time to just escape and relax. Couples massage? Sounds nice. Here are your highlights: Asian student, jumped, beaten and bullied . All captured on camera. This is a disgusting display. I hope those involved go to prison as soon as possible. Those ATM fees, gonna get worse Something lighter, Pillow Talk Romney and taxes 2012 it matters more than you think. What's at Stake in this Election Chow! P.S. If you know anything about the violent crime in Chicago, please contact the Chicago authorities.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day . I don't have anything profound to add, simply enjoy your day and remember his message. Here are your highlights: Politics in the 1960's Well this comes as no surprise, Goodbye Jon Huntsman Wall St, all you need to know "2 Broke Girls" creator defense stereotypes It seems the rich are beginning their campaign to counter the Occupy movement & the Times is here to help Chow!

Enjoy the latest episode of TATPodcast . Then send us or comment here with your favorites and Best of 2011 lists. I'm leaning toward M83 as album of the year... Chow!

I'm working evenings the next two days and running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I guess it's nice to be busy instead of not so busy...although I really want to catch up and watch seasons 3 & 4 of Breaking Bad. Damn that show is awesome. The acting, writing, production, the story; it's all phenomenal. Well done indeed. Here are your highlights: James O' Keefe trying to stop the faux voter fraud while committing VOTER FRAUD One sick solo Now this is a cosplay FAIL Video surfaces of Marines peeing on dead Afghans... A great "rule of thumb" Chow!

It's a double kind of day. My headshots first looks looked great. I'm headed to work! Here are your highlights: Businessmen and Economics Nope, no racism over at Fox Nation Emma Stone passing strange Deficits are not the concern, it's jobs Why Romney's "Firing" Gaffe Resonates , one of the best descriptions of why Romney is so wholly unappealing to a greater part of America. Chow!

Today I'm getting another set of headshots. Why? Because that's how LA works, they need a ton of shots because apparently casting directors don't have imaginations...luckily I have a friend who is kind enough to help me out in this endeavor. I hate getting my picture taken and I hate headshots even more. However if it's part of the process for me to make it in the biz, I'll do it to it. I hopefully should have footage from the project I did last year, I can't wait to share it with you guys. Also too, back to my workout regime. Not as sore today as I thought I would be...we'll see how I feel this afternoon! Here are your highlights: CHART: The Republicans' debt ceiling fight hurt the economy The stumbling of Santorum Nazi mine washes up in Sweden What's up with the Cali tax plan? In LA, want to work for progress in America with some cool peeps in the APAP community? This Thursday there's an organizing meeting Chow!

Second week of January, what?! I've been out trying to make some new comedic stuff, writing and looking for a new job. It's rough out there. How did everyone ring in the New Year? Paddy K and I are wrapping up our "Best of 2011" lists, so if you have any last minute additions hit me up! Here are your highlights: Arizona vigil , one year after the Tuscon shooting Newt doing DNC dirty work on Bain When you elect Republicans This is Who They Are , doing their best to eliminate public education...how American The Asian Glow is serious It's 2012, an election year. And it's still about the economy stupid. 3 important trends from the unemployment report Chow!

Because shit like this matters. New Deal Democrat: This morning the BLS reported that private jobs increased by +220,000 and the unemployment rate declined to 8.5%. Read the full analysis here . Not showing up. Voting for a mythical character like Ron Paul . Or trying to show Obama "who is boss" leads inevitably to a reversal of progress. And although it's not nearly enough for a full recovery, there is not a single candidate who is willing to do a damn thing about it except for our sitting president. Romney wants to "Reverse Robin Hood" , and well Ron Paul doesn't have a plan as much as a demolition method , Santorum...Google him. Vote in 2012. Occupy the Voting Booth. I can't stress that enough. The moment we have less Republicans and elect more level-headed officials, perhaps the sooner we can get out of the Great Recession. RADICAL! GASP! WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?! Okay, don't believe me, Steve Benen with easy to follow charts . Ooh. Aah. I am Fra...

This is one of the more fun episodes because it involves you the listener! Thanks again for tuning in and all of your support. 2012 has some great things in store for TAT. Chow!

My Mom would be 60 today. I miss her the same as I did when she passed away almost 13 years ago. I used to take today off from work, try to find some way to get away from my thoughts, family and distract myself. I realized that the more I celebrate how she lived, the more I talk about her, the better I feel. And that's part of it. This year I'll be getting married. It's one of those milestones I always thought my mom would be present for...I haven't quite figured out how to tip my hat to her during the ceremony... Today though Mom would be 60. A young, funny and vibrant 60. Undoubtedly she'd be in the kitchen, listening to the Beverly Hills soundtrack or Kenny Loggins and making sure we set the table properly for the day's feast. I'm sure Dad would have brought home Chinese food and the fireplace would be just active enough to make us nervous. We'd each be assigned tasks and argue playfully who would do what and when. Mom would direct traffic with her wo...
