British Airlines VIP
I hate loyalty programs and make no effort at all to collect points.
Despite my bad attitude, British Airlines awarded me Bronze membership. Until Feb 2015. 
SWEET … I can use those lounges.
GAk. Nope. You must be a Silver member to get into the lounges.
Not much I need in the Bronze program. 
Me and Clooney.
Expert travelers.
The Wire – season 4
The fourth season of The Wire has been universally lauded and hailed as one of the best seasons of television ever produced. As of 2012, it is listed as the second highest rated individual TV season of all time on Metacritic (behind season 5 of Breaking Bad), with a score of 98 out of 100 based on 21 critics—including 17 perfect score reviews.
It’s great. But the weakest of the 4 seasons, so far, in my opinion.
At this point it’s mainly my favourite characters keeping me going.
I cannot recall any characters of fiction anything like Omar or Snoop.
On to season 5.

The 2012 Republican Party platform included self-deportation as a response to Illegal immigration to the United States. …
Later it started to make some sense.
Of many possible anti-illegal immigrant policies, I quite like self-deportation. Non violent.
Lalo Alcaraz is a Mexican-American cartoonist.
… the creator of the figure “Daniel D. Portado“, a satirical Hispanic character who in the 1994 called on Mexican immigrants to return south–”"reverse immigration” …

He was born in San Diego, by the way.
Like Gay marriage, the anti-Hispanic policies of the Republican Party are a long term losing issue.
Something like the DREAM Act is needed.
Best case scenario, the Mexican economy continues to improve faster than the American. Illegal immigrants decide to go home.
