Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

Well the week is almost over. It's always the week after holidays that are the worst to come back to...or at least that's what I tell myself. The lady and I think weekend are enjoying our 2 year 6 months mark. I know it doesn't seem like a long time, but to us it is sentimental. We've both never been in a relationship this good for this long. Hooray for us! We're hitting up Cafe Laguardia , doing some Xmas shopping and cleaning...somewhere in there I'm sneaking in the next episode of the Trans-Atlantic Throwdown . Here are your highlights: FCC eviscerating net neutrality with the help of Google and Verizon Call to Action! Dream Act is on the table, call Congress Daley's last hurrah , a brand new ecological park Wonkish: Unemployment numbers explained . Still not encouraging still not doing enough Citizen Radio has two great interviews with Bertha Lewis (former head of ACORN) and William Ayers The Republican Party is still using the same old tactics; no, no, ...

Michele Bachmann puts on her tin foil hat and in the process spits so much crazy Bill O'Reilly defends the Left. Remove the ear wax Michele; it's not about defending the terrorists, it's about defending America . From the librul usurper George Washington: “Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any [prisoner]. . . I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it will not be disproportional to its guilt at such a time and in such a cause… for by such conduct they bring shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country.” - George Washington, charge to the Northern Expeditionary Force, Sept. 14, 1775 And you wonder why even the GOP is hesitant to hand her over a leadership position...

And he won't stop until he gets them. In his most recent rant he is mad, mad and madder! The claim is from what he and his readers have gathered "we knew everything" to stop the Christmas Undy bomber. But did we? I still think a system failure is a system failure, so if "we knew everything" and we didn't stop the Undy bomber from getting on the plane, then it is a SYSTEM FAILURE. Not good enough? Sullivan: Fire every single person who allowed this to happen, identify them publicly, explain what they did wrong. Then I'll believe Obama is serious and can run the government. But right now, in this area, the government is running him. Are you not entertained?!! Greenwald had a recent post with a thorough take down of this type of argument and found this from Coleen Rowley: Extraneous, irrelevant data clutter the system, making it even harder for analysts to make meaningful future connections. A needle is hard enough to find in the proverbial haystack, with...

For how much Bill O'Reilly claims to love America, he really does wish a lot of ill will on it . I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

Tonight is Laughing Liberally Chicago , so come out to the No Exit Cafe tonight at 8pm to see the Accountants of Homeland Security and some very funny comedians. Last night the lady and I enjoyed some bubbly with friends and spent most of the night discussing Lady Gaga. No really. I am taking the lady to the Gaga concert this weekend ...it was her Christmas gift don't hate. Luckily us guys got away and talked all things America and comic books. Mostly Deadpool, Green Lantern and a heated debate about whether Dick Grayson sucks. I think he does, my buddy worships him. LOL, wuss. We also talked about this upcoming year and how much we need to move to LA. Anyone else already have the winter weather blues? Last night we sure did. Here are your highlights: That 1937 Feeling - Krugman gives the administration and the Fed a historical reality check Space so weird and so cooooool With recent Dems announcing retirement , the media is picking up the Republican talking point "they are d...

Sully is so shrill : We're told no heads will roll at today's review of anti-terror policy after the undie-bomber near-miss. Can you imagine any private sector company failing on such a core element of its enterprise and no one being fired? Me neither. In this, Obama is in danger of becoming Bush. Yes, I understand that fixing the problems is paramount. And I understand the need to find out exactly who failed us and why and how to prevent that in future. And I can see why immediate firings may not be feasible. But if there is not a period of house-cleaning in which those individuals who failed to do basic due diligence on a case that is close to identical to one that occurred eight years ago, then we will know that Obama is the same old same old. Same old, same old? Same as Bush? Uh-oh...I smell dissent. I am sure when a failed terror plot by an underwear bomber came to Obama's attention the first thing he thought of was "who am I going to blame for this? Show me some ...

Wow. Did all this go by fast, nothing quite like a fast paced and ridiculous year. It has been fun and much more is to be done in 2010, the Frank and the Chow can't wait. Outside the weather is pretty awful. The lady and I's plans to ring in the New Year are some definite rest and relaxation. We decided to keep it chill and let the amateurs get hammered and messy on NYE this year. Don't worry all we aren't abandoning the idea of the ritual of NYE just this year it seems appropriate to have it be her and I...and some bubbly. All the best to all of you! Happy New Year! Here are your highlights: Craving Terrorist Melodrama The No Shame GOP Good new is good news, jobless claims fall unexpectedly Time for me to get a new car and a DeLorean sounds perfect ! Oh this always weirds me out, but people are already celebrating the New Year across the globe, Happy New Year Sydney! My favorite part about this time of year besides the obvious time with friends and family is College Fo...

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy "They will look at what we do and do something different" That sums it up and most importantly the political theater is really meant to just make us "feel better," but it won't actually accomplish anything. One dialog that seems to be missing from most reports on this incident is that it failed. Civilians stopped this extremist and there was no violent jihad because the guy FAILED. I would expect at this point a Michael Bay film based off of this braze citizenry, however not even a Lifetime movie has been discussed. (too cheeky?) As the rest of video points out we need to proactively investigate the processes by which terrorist operate. We already know what they can't do, how do we figure out what they will do next? The same goes for homegrown and domestic terrorists. This isn't a Muslim world fight and it is downright foolish to believe so, there have been in attacks in Europe,...

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy Hello Tuesday! This week over yet. Yep had a bad day yesterday, don't really want to talk about it, so let's not. The year is almost over and you know what that means...LISTS!!! Frank will be compiling his very own lists to ring out the year and welcome the new one. I am not a fan of NYE celebrations, probably will stay in, but lists I am all about. Here is what I will be looking at Best Albums, Songs, Movies, Eff Ups and Wankstas...maybe some more if I am feeling zealous. Here are your highlights: U.S. has been struggling to improve the airline security ever since 9/11 Photos from Iran's Bloody Holiday The Republican spin machine on spending is really a farce, Medicare Part D Revisited Um what? Blue Moon The Frustrating Politics of Climate Inaction Sen. Jim DeMint blocking the TSA chief nomination, accountability by the media of the greatest deliberative body 3, 2, 1....oh wait that NEVER HAPPENS...

This is going to be interesting , somehow I don't think this is Obama's fault (I know hard to believe): Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans. American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials. Guantanamo prisoner #333, Muhamad Attik al-Harbi, and prisoner #372, Said Ali Shari, were sent to Saudi Arabia on Nov. 9, 2007, according to the Defense Department log of detainees who were released from American custody. Al-Harbi has since changed his name to Muhamad al-Awfi. Can we just agre...

Spencer Ackerman : Umar Farouk “When There’s Nothing Left To Burn, You Must Set Your Crotch On Fire” Abdulmutallab is currently detained in a federal prison in Michigan. For now! In a few days he’ll use his Muslim heat vision to escape and run amok in Ann Arbor, shortly after America is brought to its knees by the force of his oratory in open federal court. Instaputz points out "it's funny because it's true." See this would be hilarious an almost Daily Show type of joke, except it is almost certain to be true. And it isn't funny it is frightening. We have already heard wonders from Jim DeMint blaming unions or mysterious something or others for this latest attempt. So let's be honest, it won't take long for some right wing patriot to declare something to this effect on teevee with Gregory or Wallace salivating over the "story." And all of it is of course proof that Barack Obama is the black Jimmy Carter. *sigh I think it would be too much to as...

Guilty of watching a DVD and talking Arab - Officials say two passengers who were removed from a Phoenix-bound flight Saturday after others aboard the plane noticed "suspicious" activity were not doing anything wrong. Suzanne Trevino, a spokesperson with Transportation Security Administration (TSA), said US Airways Flight 192 was inbound from the Orlando, Florida when a passenger reported seeing two other passengers talking "suspiciously." FBI spokesperson Manuel Johnson said a female passenger overheard the two men, described by officials as Middle Eastern, speaking loudly in a foreign language and reported them to airline staff. According to Johnson, the two men were talking about being late for their flight and not being able to shop at the airport before boarding their flight to Phoenix. The men were reportedly watching the movie "The Kingdom" on a portable DVD player while talking, and the female passenger, who was sitting near the men, thought this w...

I am back! Howdy! How was everyone's holiday? Enjoy your time off? I must say it was a fantastic time, full of booze, love and presents. Santa rocks! The family treks back to Virginia today, so keep them in your prayers. It is weird. Once you move away the holidays, whether you like them or not, mean much more when someone drives 14 hours to share it with you. Side note: If you drive through the snow with a broken windshield wiper that spreads mud in your line of vision, you swerve on country roads and you have to draft behind large trucks all to see your lady...that is love. So what I miss? Terrorists? Attempted terrorists? Apparently Obama has already failed since the terrorist failed...or something. Let's do this. Before the year is over we must spend our due diligence thwarting the "fear the brown people" mentality. Here are your highlights: Wall St. still making off with Main St.'s money and livelihood The pants wetting has begun , Nate Silver breaks it d...

I just love this country! Illinois is going to house some (NOT ALL ONLY SOME) of the Gitmo detainees in hopes of blotting out this stain in American history. Of course there is much uproar and much more fear the brown people. From the Bankrupt Paper comments section : Razldazlrr - Oh great - just what we need. The King has spoken and moving the terrorists to Illinois - let's hope they keep them outside in the cold a big portion of the time. I think a lot of the crazy libs are more worried about the gitmo terrorists than they are US citizens. Personally, most of them should just be exterminated (terrorists that is) CiceroUnga - Don't forget the free Link cards, Wic cards, and EBT cards. Oh yes, they get free cell phones now, too. dalmatian847 - Better yet, how about putting them in Englewood or Roselawn or some of the other communities Obama helped "organized" where no terror suspect in their right mind would want to live. CulpeperMinutemen - Man oh man, you dems/libb...

When was the last time you heard about one of these? And the culprit actually getting away? Apparently Harry Reid and Co. are buying into the paranoia of "not in my America." It's terrible leadership. Montana is taking the right approach. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message.

Early morning RAGE! There is a lot of wonkish and ridiculous crapola out there this morning, but what fuels my early morning rage are the headlines I am reading. Extremist Web Sites Are Using U.S. Hosts Ease and Anonymity Draw Taliban, al-Qaeda HOW ABOUT THIS SITE?!! Domestic TERRORACISTS!! They are using United States companies to do um....I don't know cop killing . A little known fact. In the media you pay attention the foreigners who are polluting our nation from afar instead of the internal raging militia murders polluting our airwaves in our own backyards. What do I know though? I just blog which makes me part of the liberal media smear machine that is smears itself while smearing others and smearly smears while smearing at others with the liberal villainous ways. Smear blah crap liberals suck wing nuts rules red state blue state fart noises with my armpit here. Or maybe I get it. We don't want to tell others we know we have rotten apples who would like nothing more tha...

Osama Bin Laden challenged the incoming administration yesterday in a 22 min. video. Bin Laden also put a jihad on Israel in regards to the war in Gaza. Obama vs Osama, Osama vs Obama. Analysis. Although Osama has the reach advantage being that he is reported to be 7' tall, his health in the last few years has been in question. He seems to be a terrorist, who once had the tools to be competitive, however he will most likely succumb to good solid body work by the President-Elect. Osama likes to move around the ring a lot from "cave to cave", but his lack of conditioning will catch up to him. Obama is always in good shape and with a decent corner (except for suspect cornerman Emanuel) I think Obama's left hook to the body will cause the lanky terrorist problems all night. And unfortunately for Osama he does not have one punch knockout power. Look for Obama to press hard in rounds 3 and 4 once he realizes Osama can't hurt him. Barack Obama by 5th Round TKO after a b...
