Thanks a lot, This American Life. If you're going to title a program "Unconditional Love" could you provide some prozac with it if your first story is about Harlow and those sad baby monkeys? I can't stand hearing about the monkeys sadly cuddling up to fake monkey mommies! In the opening blurb they talk about how in olden times (I'm guessing before the 50s or 60s) doctors used to tell parents that they shouldn't hold their babies too much or give them too much affection. They were told that kissing your kid more than once a year could be bad for them.

Last night West was just absolutely delighted by bouncing around on my knee to a poorly do-doo'd rendition of Fraggle Rock. And then by Drew boogying him to the Ducktales theme on youtube. I will do whatever goofy things it takes to get that look of pure baby joy.

Also, NPR uncovers private prison corporation was deeply involved in the formation and passing of the Arizona immigration law.
