That's it? Ten days off and this is all Minnesota's Worst Writer™ has for us? I tune in expecting a one sided Crossfire and all I get is a warmed over After School Special.
Today KK introduces us to a god fearing (or at least latex fearing) family with nine kids that for me onlyconjuress up an image of Ned Flanders mainlining Viagra. No doubt they are a lovely bunch of folks (hey, like our beloved president they're in good shape) who only got sucked into KK's soul deadening orbit as a reward for their giant "Breeders for Bush" sign last November. (As if anunnecessaryy war, a ballooning deficit, and a boat load of lies weren't reward enough.) The article is thankfully free of KK's standard pimping for the Republican poster boy of the week but there is of course just a hint of her typical liberal bashing in her insinuation that most of those old baby boomers are child coddling hippies. But we know just what KK is really thinking: "Wow, sex 9 times in 18 years? Sign me up!"
But in the end there might be something to be said for having nine kids. And I think I'll let Lou Reed say it:
Oh my, I do hope I have not offended the cerebral, and totally hot, Cheri Pierson Yecke.Why stop at one, I might have ten, a regular tv brood
I'd breed a little liberal army in the wood
Just like these redneck lunatics I see at the local bar
With their tribe of mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves
I'd teach 'em how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitar
And if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nuts
I'd try to be as progressive as I could possibly be
As long as I don't have to try too much
Update: cp has a far more insightful, nuanced, and analytical take down on the K-beast's return than I do. On the other hand mine is much ruder. The choice is yours.
By the way, the sultry and well dressed CPY proved yesterday that the Center for the American Experiment truly is the employer of last resort for honesty challenged right wing shrews with her complaint that conservative women get criticized for their looks. It goes without saying that conservatives would never stoop so low as to do that sort of thing to Hilary Clinton, Janet Reno, or Helen Thomas. And they would never refer to a 14 year old girl as the White House dog on national television.
I just would like to thank the Lord my savior for reminding me who Yecke was before I actually did a GIS.
Both KK and Yecke have, as their beloved president would put it, "a face for radio."

The Reinhardts attributed their successful childrearing to online banking in 1996:
"Reinhardt and his wife Nadine live in a tidy suburban Twin Cities home with their six kids. Six children age eight and under don't leave the Reinhardts with a lot of time or money to spare. Nadine Reinhardt says PC banking means Jim doesn't have to go to the bank, and that frees up time for both of them."
But that was before the glorious theocon revolution.

, atI came across that too, as well as finding the names of all their kids. Which is kind of scary in a way. Do people suspect that when their name ends up in the paper people will easily find a whole lot more information about them than they have offered a reporter?
It's always curious when the same family is interviewed twice. How many "regular families" make it into a reporter's rolodex?
excellent post. You can't go wrong with the Transformer. That banking article is pretty interesting. I wish I had known about it when I wrote about the economic angle of the story.
