Way to perpetuate the stereotype, folks.

From the Associated Press:

Arkansas family celebrates birth of 15th child

Fayetteville, Arkansas -- The labor pains must not be bothering her that much.

An Arkansas woman has given birth to her 15th child -- and her family says she wants more.

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar's (DUH'-gurz) latest son is named Jackson -- following in the footsteps of all his brothers and sisters, who each have names beginning with J.

The 37-year-old mom began having kids when she was 21. She home-schools the children -- when she's not busy helping to build the family's new home.

The dad is a former Arkansas state legislator who says he'll leave the decision on having more kids to his wife.

why on earth would you consider more kids at this point? The only thing worse would be for her to say she was pursuing fertility drugs!

Let go your need to be big and fat!

dear god. i read this article too. did you see the photo? i don't know what's worse: the idea of having 15 kids, the thought of spending 10 YEARS PREGNANT, the matching outfits they were all wearing in the AP photo, or the fact that one of the kids is named Jinger.

Jinger? Good lord.

As part of my jorb I see what people name their kids, and I'm constantly amazed at the spectacular thoughlessness and/or fadishness that goes into the naming, but nothing bugs me more than to see people whose kids have the same damn initials. What, do they have monogrammed hand-me-downs?

Harold, love your blog, and I don't know if I've even written to congratulate you and Sonya on the birth of your son. Six months old? Geez I'm outta the loop. Good job, d00d (and Mrs. d00d).
