You are more charitable than I am. I guess I am cynical from dealing with certain populations. It is nice of you to give benefit of the doubt.

Another rumor flying around is that she went to Mexico for fertility treatments.

I’d rather err on the charitable side until I know more about the facts of this ultra-bizarre story. And I’ve never heard of any type of “population” inclined toward this sort of family-building program, so I’m not even ready to guess at what sort of “population” they may represent. I’m starting to suspect they’re utterly unique, and that any “population” you or I could think of is reacting to this story with just as much jaw-dropping amazement and perplexment as you and I are.

The only thing that seems totally clear is that this woman and her parents have 14 much-wanted children on their hands, so no matter how much poor judgement may have preceded the children’s arrival, I do hope for a happy outcome. Locking up the apparently loony mom and grandparents and shipping the mega-brood out to foster care would not likely be an improvement over the status quo. However, I certainly hope that the publicity arising from the octuplets will result in some intervention and counseling for all the adults involved, so that 14 will be the final count.

Either way we have a lot more new US citizens who worship fake allah and will scrape the ground 5x per day for him

An updated CNN article closes with: “The nanny who works with the octuplets’ siblings said Friday that the woman “adores her babies” and is “a perfect mom.””

Curiouser and curiouser. At first glance, this would appear to be a family of absolute whackjobs, but then there are scattered hints here and there that they’re not. My level-headed side thinks the details are really none of my business, but my hyper-inquisitive side is dying to know what on earth the whole story is.
