LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) -- Michelle Duggar just delivered her 16th child, and she's already thinking about doing it again.
Johannah Faith Duggar was born at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and weighed 7 pounds, 6.5 ounces.
The baby's father, Jim Bob Duggar, a former state representative, said Wednesday that mother and child were doing well. Johannah's birth was especially exciting because it was the first time in eight years the family has had a girl, he said.

MY OPINION: First, this is my first Latest Breaking News post. Forgive me if I missed another first post, and go ahead and delete if it it's a dupe.
I can't believe the irresponsibility of this lady. IN a world where the population continues to grow faster than the food supply, she's fine adding to the burden of society to feed, clothed, house, and educate HER children. Everyone's entitled to be a parent, if they so wish, but either we institute a one-child policy (ala China), or at least a two child policy, or we're gonna be in serious trouble.
Someone should staple this woman's legs together, and heavily sedate her (Bill Maher).
And why is it always the most red-neck families that keep adding more Bubbas to our world. What we need. More "the Bible has everything we need" people to go out and vote another George Bush.
