#1 Reminds me of the old Groucho Marx line. "Madam, I like my cigar but I take it out of my mouth once in a while."

#2 Hey at least they take care of their kids, are not on public assistance, and home school the kids. Many could learn lessons from this family. I have four kids and I could not imagine having another. God bless [blessed] them.

#3 Only thing that bothers me is the cutesy business of all the names starting with J. Can you imagine how many times Jinger will have to explain his name? Like the Johnny Cash song, "A Boy Named Sue." My mother thought it would be cute to name her children with rhyming nicknames. Fortunately I was the eldest and fared better than my five brothers. She gave up when faced with the potential name choices for my youngest brother. Parents should have mercy when naming defenseless infants instead of inflicting names like Moon Unit Zappa on them.

#5 Reminds me of a joke I heard in Arkansas about 50 years ago. Preacher walks into the hospital to visit a woman in similar circumstances as Mrs. Duggar and meets her husband on the way out.

Preacher says,"I hear your misses just gave birth again and I wanted to see her one time when she wasn't pregnant."
Husband repiles, "sorry you're 15 minutes too late."
