About that Time Magazine “crying girl” cover…
Short version:
The kid is standing right next to her mother, and only crying because she’s hungry and tired.
The mom’s husband and 3 other children are still in Honduras.
Mom didn’t tell her husband where she was going. She just took the kid and left.
Mom has been deported back to Honduras before.
Super short version:
The kid is crying because she has a lousy mother.

Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam beaked beans spam spam spam and spam.
I’m also partial to a ham & cheese omelet on buttered toast. The trick is to make the omelet square, so it fits without hanging over the edges.

When the Worm Turns
A leaked memo from the ACLU shows that they plan to no longer defend the free speech rights of those “whose views are contrary to our values”.
Good policy. Until the day someone in authority decides you’re the one with the contrary views.

Saturday Night Open Thread
I liked the Monkees when I was a kid. Most kids did. We were kids.
The TV show had some genuinely funny moments. It also had some really lame moments.
Their music was, well, a lot like that, too. Some of their songs I liked then, I find cringeworthy today. But, some of their songs I still like.
I likes Mike’s songs the best. None of his songs were hits. The biggest Mike Nesmith penned single by the group was “Tapioca Tundra,” the B-side to “Valleri,” which charted separately.
That wasn’t my favorite Monkees song by a long shot, nor my favorite Nesmith song. But, hearing it performed how he originally intended brings it up a notch or two in my mind.
Compare to the single release.
