Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

Rough night. Long day at work. I seem to be running on empty the last two days. I tried to sleep in today, however construction and trucks. Lots of trucks. Great bit of background noise for a deadline I have for a voice over gig. Woohoo! FML. It's Friday, so for a lot of you it's the start of the weekend. My weekend isn't till Tuesday.

Hands on with Ice Cream Sandwich HBO developing a "Small Wonder" like show with Asians? One thing you can't deny about Obama, love or hate him, our president has a good heart Chow!

NPR : A military helicopter was shot down in eastern Afghanistan on Friday, killing 31 U.S. special operation troops and seven Afghan commandos. It was the deadliest single incident for American forces in the decade-long war. According to The Associated Press, most of the Americans were from the elite Navy SEALs unit that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. NPR could not independently confirm that the Navy SEALs were among those killed. The Taliban claimed they downed the helicopter with rocket fire while it was taking part in a raid on a house where insurgents were gathered in the province of Wardak late Friday.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy Woah Tuesday. It seems like every time it gets here I'm not prepared. Rather busy in the office, projects I keep putting off, but on the bright side I re-discovered my monologue. It's not often I audition and am told to prepare a monologue, but it's wise to have one in my back pocket in case. I've been putting it off for some time and finally went back to the monologue that got me into college.

In other news I would like this week to be over already.

This is the most positive take I've read about Libya and I respect David Corn greatly. This is what I've been reading amongst the liberal blogosphere ...although it does pose a conundrum when the Left wants justice everywhere , but it isn't clear how that is supposed to happen without intervention. I just don't foresee any of this turning out well nor an ending. Atrios has our media pinned: It's really quite amazing how exciting new wars are to our media. I guess old wars are "controversial" and therefore harder to cover. Also, too, dead people. New wars are just exciting missile launches and "bad guys." It's as if their inner Michael Bay comes out in full force when a shiny new war is launched. Gaddawful. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message
