60 and counting

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – TLC reality show “59 Kids and Counting” may soon need a new name. Arkansas couple Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar appeared with their burgeoning clan on NBC’s “Today” show Tuesday and announced they are expecting their 60th child in April.

Eighty-five-year-old Michelle Duggar said she’s in good physical shape and that she’s not worried, despite complications during her last pregnancy that led to the premature birth of their youngest child two years ago. She says she’s made it through her first trimester safely.

The couple has said they don’t use birth control. Michelle Duggar says she didn’t necessarily expect to get pregnant again and that she and her husband are excited to welcome the new addition to the family.

“If it’s a boy, he’ll be, oh, J-something,” said Jim Bob. “And if it’s a girl, she’ll be, ah, J-something-else.”

The couple confided that in recent years, megadoses of estrogen for Michelle and electrostimulative ejaculation for Jim Bob have been helpful assists to conception.

“My trips to the clinic give me something to look forward to every month,” said Jim Bob.

“With today’s advanced hormonal techniques, the sky’s the limits!” Michelle enthused. “The good Lord willing, I may have another twenty before St. Peter greets me at the Holy Gates!”

    Because god knows there’s not enough godly-attention-whoring going on over to the Duggar’s place, you know?

    I’m trying to parse godly-attention-whoring. Does that mean they’re whoring themselves for God’s attention?
