Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

Welp. Mission Accomplished...okay not really, but I finished my editing and I sent off my project. It's a relief and I feel like I'm sending my first born child to their first day at school. We'll see what happens, but nonetheless I can take a little vacation and enjoy it. Hold down the fort ya'll. Here are your highlights: Filibuster Reform , it's on. Losing their minds, Republican voters blame ACORN for the election loss No idea people still wrote on Breitbart I'd get in this taxi NOT BREAKING NEWS: Austerity is Stupid And your moment of "Why I'm not a Republican" brought to you by the ignorant and condescending National Review Online. Remember, Asians in America, once you have "Americaness" you'll come to the side of the Republicans. I'd say I'm shocked, but this is the Grand Old Party I've grown up with. We aren't Americans to them, we think in all funky chinaman speak. This is the sort of out reach...

I have to close the store tonight due to an unexpected call out. So I'll be at work all day instead of having my Friday night off to relax. *Sigh. Life's so rough. In other news, the lady has her bachelorette festivus beginning today. It's really all just around the corner. I can't wait! Here are your highlights: Facebook hits the casino floor!! Interesting concept, Wong Fu Productions presents Away We Happened AZ Secretary of State is a complete birther moron , what's wrong with AZ? Romney sums up his campaign thus far in one quote Lying Lies , it's amazing how some people keep their jobs 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!

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy Woah I missed a day, how'd that happen? Oh I know I've been working much more. Both good and bad, I'm here less BAD, however I'm working more GOOD. If you hadn't noticed the Trayvon Martin story is finally receiving the attention it deserves. It's a terrible case of poor judgement, an environment of fear and perhaps some shady police work...hopefully there will be justice for Travyon and his family. I posited on Twitter, the other day, I still can't put my finger on what good the NRA has ever done. We have a ridiculous gun culture in America. It's beyond protecting oneself, it has armed the unfit and encouraged the irrational. I'm aware it's a lost battle, the NRA and the GOP have won the gun debate, however perhaps we can start winning back part of the conversation. "Neighborhood Watch" is not supposed to mean the Wild Wild West. Also too, this is racist . I...

Got caught up cleaning and running errands yesterday. The lady comes back from San Fran today and here best buds do as well. It should be a fantastically fun time...but I work all week. "Girl time" they call it. I've unfortunately had less time to write these past couple of months, I need to settle back into a groove. Find the right soundtrack. If anyone knows any cool writing workshops in LA, let me know! Here are your highlights: Florida grand jury to probe Trayvon Martin killing The Ryan budget, not so much a budget The Muppets have finally made it Do you feel that? Warrenmentum N-word bumper stickers NOT RACIST AT ALL!!! #smh Chow!

Spokane : A man has been charged in the case of a bomb that had been placed at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Spokane in January. A magistrate clerk at the U.S. District Court in Spokane tells The Associated Press that Kevin William Harpham, who was arrested Wednesday, is scheduled to make an initial appearance Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. Pacific time. Harpham has been charged with one count of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and one count of knowingly possessing an improvised explosive device. Meanwhile, federal and local law enforcement officers descended on a home near Addy, a town in rural Stevens County. Two T-shirts found with the bomb were tied to that area. The bomb was found on Jan. 17 inside a backpack by workers before the start of the parade. The bomb was defused without incident. David Neiwert at Crooks and Liars has more about this attempt at an act of domestic terrorism by a known white supremacist. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

It's fuggin cold. Like one of the coldest days I've experienced in a long time. That damn wind is biting. My legs ache. In other words, I LOVE CHICAGO! No really I do love Chicago, I just can't stand this weather. The wind is what gets me every time. I'll suck up the cold, but the wind makes me want to stay inside and wrap myself in a Cubbies Snuggie. In other news I think I have a sign on my back that says, "Hey overweight fella sit next to me on the CTA!" It happens all too often. Don't forget to listen to the latest episode of TAT , with my future best man Paddy K. Here are your highlights: U.S. finds no defects in Toyota electronics Our failing education system includes the colleges and universities - I blame teh devil On Being Black and Invisible in Punk Rock ColourLovers Well isn't this nice for him to show up. Geithner says the U.S. Economy is "getting stronger" , I agree. However there is one glaring issue that he keeps on ignoring....

So the Republican Governor of Mississippi born in 1947 has a history of consorting with racists ...AND he doesn't apologize for it. Well I do declare, color me surprised (fanning face incessantly while wearing my white gloves). I do hope Haley Barbour runs for president of the Southern States. It would all be so much like the good ole days . You know when Boehner's tears were over the joy of seeing blacks and whites drink from separate fountains and attend separate schools. When the N-word wasn't just for rappers and the occasional off kilter right-wing talk show host . When white guys could play golf without Tiger Woods dominating the greens. You know America *without those pesky ferners and colored peoples. All this talk of the good ole days makes me want to get some lemonade and crank up my Skynyrd to 11! Hee-haw!

Don't Say the President of United Motherfucking States is a Ferner : I mostly ignore Rush, but I know the right wing and the Elefuggs in Congress kiss his golden boots, so when he says something this incendiary I get the RAGE! As an Asian-American male I know what this means. What pisses of the right wing so much about Obama is that he is NOT the "model minority." I know what Rush is trying to do here, it is always what he does. FEAR THE OTHER! Obama is a ferner because he has a view that is slightly to the left of center on somethings and that means he is also the second coming of Hitler and a hippy who wants socialism and an alien oooh and he is also a ferner being sent from an Africa tribe. So Obama is a Kenyan Muslim Manchurian President! But the Tea Party, the Dittoheads, the Right Wing. Nope they aren't racist, they just care about our freedom. I think Rush is not from this country. Want to know why I deduce that? Because he doesn't support our president. A...

Well I am back from a lovely weekend in Central Illinois. It wasn't as hot as I expected, but it was relaxing and just what the doctor ordered. We were able to take a couple of boat rides and while there was a breeze, just being out in the sun was perfect. My lady finally got her much earned R & R. The only negative was...we ate and ate and ate and ate. LOL. It never fails. Go on vacation eat yourself into a food coma. I feel like I gained a mini-me. I am gonna have to focus since this weekend is the beginning of the football season and lord knows I am going to be getting hammered while rooting for my Washington Redskins ! Here are your highlights: Obama proposes $50 billion for jobs . The news cycle already destroys the possibility of it passing. Depression here we come... The race card is b.s. Especially went it isn't being used. Facebookmobile It is hateful and extreme rhetoric. The Quran burning bigots are also making it less safe for our troops. SUCCESS! Obama has few...

Huffington Post : A whites-only basketball league aims to launch in twelve cities this summer, according to a report in the Augusta Chronicle. The All-American Basketball Alliance would also ban players born outside the United States. The league's commissioner, Don "Moose" Lewis, claims that he doesn't "hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now." Thus, he says, the All-American Basketball Alliance would be "a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like." The report includes additional shocking quotes from the commissioner: Lewis said he wants to emphasize fundamental basketball instead of "street-ball" played by "people of color." ... "Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?" he said. "That's the culture today, and in a free country we should h...

It has become clear recently that "fear the black guy" is getting a chorus in the right wing fringe of the teevee and talk radio. It is isn't funny. This is no laughing matter and it should not be taken lightly. This was something the right wing couldn't stick to Bill Clinton back in 90's because he was "Bubba", so they had to cook up conspiracies about murders and money while fetishing over Clinton's penis. However, now, today with the first ever black President Barack Obama, the hate radio has another angle and it is a dangerous one. Race in America is complex. Understanding race in America is even more complex. What the Beck's. Dobb's, Hannity's and Limbaugh's are doing here is promoting an ideal held deep within the fringe of America, that white is right. Americans are hard working white men. Everyone else is un-American. They insipidly hurl out the word racist to describe our President and in doing so stoke the flames for more ra...
