» 14 Children and Pregnant Again! Options

I've never really been able to get into the idea that God would be that much of a micromanager.

[jerseydevil]

In the bedroom photo it looks like there is a TV on top of the TV they are watching. Why would a family that doesn't watch tv need 2 TVs?

Having a working television sitting on top of the non-working television is one of the signs that "you might be a redneck."

[allotouai]

The family has one television set, which Jim Bob said is only brought out for important news events or addresses by President Bush.

*OR* addresses by The Chosen One hisself! Because god knows his addresses are neither important, nor news.

Here's a weird thought: if JimBob and ofJimBob are so determined to be a baby factory, I wonder why they don't shake their heads with disapproval at, say, the President, who (gasp!) only has twins. I mean, Laura and GWB must have used some kind of (gasp!) birth control. You'd think they'd look up to, say, Robert Kennedy, who also had a baby factory thing going on with his wife Ethel (12 by the time he died).
I too wonder at the side-of-the-head ponytail hairstyle for the girls. Not very Little-House. You'd think they'd have pigtailed braids.

Yeah, but RFK was a Papist, meaning his and Ethel's breeding was not of the Lord, as it created a dozen more little Papists to further Satan's work and not clean upstanding annointed by Jesus future members of the Church of the Basement.

I do wonder how they spin the Dumbya thing. No one in the extended Bush family has a lot of kids - I think Jeb has three and Neil has three; Marvin and Doro both have two. All well within the middle/upper-middle class norms of late 20th century America.

If we're looking at sins in the Bush camp, I wonder what the Duggar explanation is of Noelle Bush doing crack while in rehab is? Perhaps crack is used terapeutically, to enhance religious experiences and bring the (Bush) user closer to Jesus?

Also, in the mug shots, Noelle is clearly not enhancing her coutnenance. And Laura Bush shows a whole lot of leg in those knee-length skirts she's always wearing. Shame!

[growsonwalls]

Not only that, but I bet the farm and my life that Jenna and Barbara definitely do not wear modest swimwear a la Jinger. I mean, I've never seen them swimming but just from the look of their regular outfits I peg them as bikini girls. You'd think JimBob would ban FoxNews in case they showed footage of the Bush twins. I mean, it might inspire rebellion in Jinger!
I also wonder if the Duggars like Ann "Miniskirt Bitch" Coulter.
Come to think of it, I'm astonished at how few role models the Duggars could find in the Repuglican community. Maybe Anthony Scalia (father of 8)?

That article is something else.

Jackson Duggar has my birthday. Dammit, if I'd only put in for the pool on that one, I'd have won! I always bet on my own birthday in things. Heh.
Joy-Anna is the cutest little thing I ever saw in that violin pic. And Jinger is going to be a real beauty when she grows up, you can see it in her face.

Date: October 30

Somebody else called dibs, but Michelle will push her out by sheer force of will in order to not have the dreaded Halloween baby.

Hee! That's exactly the reasoning I used when I picked the 30th!

[theseventhbrady]

Jinger is definitely the beauty of the family; she'll be the first to be chained up in the new basement.

[patagium]

Okay, someone help out the newcomer here. Which one is Jinger? She's the second youngest girl, right?

[technoasis]

This is probably old news to this group, but I just ran across a great slide show and article about the Duggar family.

Michelle's collars bring the viewer's attention to nothing so much as their own hugeness.

In the picture of all the kids at the hospital, number 14 in JimBob's arms doesn't look all that pleased not to be the baby anymore. Poor little guy.

[Malle Babbe]

Maybe Anthony Scalia (father of 8)?

Nah, he's Catholic.

I too wonder at the side-of-the-head ponytail hairstyle for the girls. Not very Little-House. You'd think they'd have pigtailed braids.

No, then their ears would show. Too much skin!!!

[Paper Bag]

The Duggars probably tell themselves that the Bushes didn't have more kids not because used they BC, but because God decided to only give them 2 children. GOD decides, remember?

And yeah, Jinger is pretty. Too bad she's stuck with the name Jinger, though. She'll live her whole life saying "No, that's Jinger with a 'J'". And then smiling politely when people give her a weird look.

[Murrain2]

Actually, I wore my hair that was as a kid--I could put it up that way myself. I'm sure it's the girl's default, do-it-herself 'do.
