20 and counting?

I am going to resist making sarcastic jokes or making harsh judgments about the latest pregnancy for the serial parents and reality show stars Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar.

If you haven't heard, the Duggars are having their 20th child.

I have caught their show here and there, and it's not clear to me what they do for a living. Do they live off income from the show?

If you could afford to have as many kids as you want, why not, right?

This family repeatedly refers to this being a "blessing from God," but when, according to some, God gave instructions to go forth and multiply, humans were barely more civilized than a family of baboons. I'm quite confident "God" would tell these fools to use a freaking rubber once in a while, considering that we just reached 7 billion people and that our resources can only be stretched so far.

This smacks of something akin to the balloon boy hoax, which was a desperate cry for attention and a means by which to promote their "reality TV" careers.
