— Ace She's not married and already had six kids. Wanting "just one more girl," she implanted eight fertilized embryos and all went to term.
So now she's got fourteen kids.
Incidentally, I notice that Feministing hasn't commented on this at all, and I went back through five dreary pages of posts. Their usual joke -- "It's a vagina, not a clown car" -- is MIA. They tend to do this: There is no male villain in the story they can yell at about this, so it's not a story as far as they're concerned. If she'd had a husband, they would have posted about this twenty five times by now.
Furthermore, this was this woman's choice, and women's choices can never be questioned.
So they just ignore it.
They did the same thing, as far as I can tell, with the alleged virgin selling her purported virginity in a confirmed whorehouse. I looked at the time, because I was curious which wildly-disproportionate response they would arbitrarily choose -- wildly praising her for sticking it to the patriarchy, or savaging her for allowing herself to be "programmed" by the patriarchy's heteronormative regime -- but they seem to have skipped that one, too.
Those are the feminists only two possible reactions -- wild praise and savaging -- and often it seems like the decide on the flip of a coin which to indulge in. An ad featuring breasts gets savaged; an ad making cheeky references to "beavers" get praised. What exactly is the criteria by which such disparate reactions are decided?
Almost none at all, it seems. But damnit, they're going to have an opinion on anything involving pooter or tits and either way it's going to be a hyperbolic one.
But in these two cases, I guess the coin refused to flip and simply stood on its edge. The Sisterhood of Solidarity, apparently unable to reach a Group Consensus as to whether Extreme Reaction A or Extreme Reaction B was called for, simply passed altogether.

Wouldn't it be lovely, if, by some stroke of fate--however impossibly unlikely--the three million dollar whore got knocked up on her first try, and came up with octuplets, and everybody on eBay knew, so she didn't have any "privacy" about her "decision" at all?
I mean, it would make for some interesting posts and threads. And fantasies.
First.

I suppose I have no problem with her re-populating her neighborhood if....
.....she can pay for all these kids herself rather than living off my tax dollar.
However... I find it disturbing that there is no father in the picture, which, IMHO is a necessary part of any child's life.
I also suspect that she will end up on the Discovery Health channel with a new series entitled "The Daily Adventures of Octo-Mom." All her expenses will be paid for by the network, she'll end up doing endorsements, the talk show circuit, pen a few books, and in the meantime, the tv crew/production assistants will raise her children.
However, the tv crew /production assistants may end up being more responsible faux parents.

Judging from the news articles I have been seeing on Lucianne, this woman is weapons-grade crazy, and the grandparents do not seem far behind.
It is like one of those egg-inside-an-egg-inside-an-egg Russian thingermajiggies: Every new article reveals some new bit o'lunacy.

Your tax dollars at work.
CBS News has learned that the family of the octuplets born this week outside Los Angeles filed for bankruptcy and abandoned a home a little over a year-and-a-half ago.
Early Show national correspondent Hattie Kauffman says the mother is in her mid-thirties and lives with her parents.
There's been no mention of the octuplets' father, Kauffman observes.
The grandfather, she adds, is apparently going to head back to his native Iraq to earn money for the growing family. He told CBS News he's a former Iraqi military man.
Another eight little jihadis. While you wait for our kleptocratic government to quit bribing itself, you might want to spend some time at the shooting range.

According to The Times (UK), Octo-mom is asking $2 million from Oprah Winfrey to appear on her show in order to pay child care costs.

That feministing site scares the batcrap out of me. Probably because I didn't pick up on the stupid name right away, and now think "Femin-sting." Which for some reason makes me think of a huge black scorpion wearing tacky rhinestone glasses that will spear me for being a gender-traitor.
And no, I'm not half-backed like Obama's bro. More like a quarter.

The Feministing crowd are insane feminist bigots. You can't track their decision making using reason or logic.

Cut the Octo Mom some slack, fellow Americans.
There's maybe one of 2 things going on here, and we Americans have elected officials and worshipped entertainment forms that encourage such behaviors.
If she can get $$$ from the government to be a pro babymaker, it's our faults for helping to make this possible.
And who can blame her if she's attempting to use her "talents" to make a bit of money to support herself and her family? How is what she's doing in principle any different that the whorish bimbos you men pay to jerk off in front of in glossy mags? She's practicing capitalism and fulfilling an entertainment void. . . kind of like the grown men making big bucks to tackle one another tonight on TV.
Well, just some different ways to think about it. In this light, we look alot like Rome.
