Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

WaPo - The past decade was the worst for the U.S. economy in modern times, a sharp reversal from a long period of prosperity that is leading economists and policymakers to fundamentally rethink the underpinnings of the nation's growth. It was, according to a wide range of data, a lost decade for American workers. The decade began in a moment of triumphalism -- there was a current of thought among economists in 1999 that recessions were a thing of the past. By the end, there were two, bookends to a debt-driven expansion that was neither robust nor sustainable. I hope Sadam's gun keeps Bushie warm at night.

Glenn Greenwald calls it like he sees it: We're obviously hungry to live with royal and aristocratic families so we should really just go ahead and formally declare it: Bush daughter Jenna Hager becomes 'Today' reporter NBC's "Today" show has hired someone with White House experience as a new correspondent — former first daughter Jenna Hager, the daughter of former President George W. Bush. . . . She "just sort of popped to us as a natural presence, comfortable" on the air, [Executive Producer Jim] Bell said. Hager will work out of NBC's Washington bureau. They should convene a panel for the next Meet the Press with Jenna Bush Hager, Luke Russert, Liz Cheney, Megan McCain and Jonah Goldberg, and they should have Chris Wallace moderate it. They can all bash affirmative action and talk about how vitally important it is that the U.S. remain a Great Meritocracy because it's really unfair for anything other than merit to determine position and em...

From ThinkProgress : The Obama administration has “released more than a thousand intelligence images of Arctic ice,” following a declassification request by the National Academy of Sciences. These high-resolution spy photos of rapid sea ice loss off the northern coast of Alaska, kept classified by the Bush administration, show “the devastating impact of global warming in the Arctic” ARE YOU FOR REALLLLLL??!!!!!! This is the real politics of corruption. It is clear now more than ever, not only was the Bush Administration fisting America, yes I used that graphic of a term, they wanted to ram us so deep in a pile of lies the Earth be damned. Where are you Global Warming deniers now? This is full proof and the point was shrouded in a cover up by the Bushies and the Dicks. Do these fuggs have any morality? I bet they would sold kidneys on the black market, spread Swine Flu and started wars for profit...wait that last one they did do. RAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEE!!!! Frank grabs all the cubic...

Officials announced that plans to fill the hole of the Twin Towers were stalled yet again . Some have said that it was a win for Al Qaeda, however I would argue it is another win for the Bush/Cheney administration. And further more a win for the Rovian politics of fear and as I like to call them the collective 9-11 dot com. We have now for the past eight years been reminded and reminded and reminded of 9-11. The horror, the terrorists, the fear, the tragedy, the families and the brown people ; they all have been part of our narrative since that day. It was the most tragic event on US soil. We know that and in case you missed it, you now know by the speeches of Bush, Cheney, Giuliani and all the talking heads on Faux News. Each one follows their reasoning and complete disdain for American values and the Constitution with the tag line 9-11 dot com. The Twin Towers were considered a symbol of all that Al Quaeda hated about America now they are symbolic of what America has become. There w...
