I'm judgey about Clown Uterus Woman, but I'd be just as judgey if she were a lesbian separatist or a polygamous Mormon or married to a zillionaire with a staff of 14 nannies to hand (okay, maybe not quite as much with the last).
(Note also, I'm the elder sister with younger multiple brothers, who was raised by single (widowed) mother on public assistance, so I come by my judgey-ment by honest means and experience.)
That the delivery medical staff were astounded to learn that she already had 6 children speaks to her mindset, I'd say -- I expect that however she conceived there was also duplicity involved, or perhaps she went the black market fertility drug route.
I hope some news person (Rachel Maddow, I mean you) is having their staff make up a chart to track all the things Obama is reversing in his first 100 days.
My grandmother had 11 kids, and if anyone gets judgey about her, I will metaphorically and over the internet step on your face.
I don't think you should get a dog unless you expect to be able to provide basic care for it.
Maybe the dog gets sick, or you do. Or you have to move to a place without a decent vet. Or whatever. For some reason you can't provide for the dog as well as you'd expected. Life's unpredictable, and you made a reasonable decision at the time. No judging.
But if someone says, "I've always wanted a dog, and now I can afford one! I work 18 hour days, travel a lot, and live in a tiny studio apartment. I think I'll get a German Shepherd -- I don't know anything about them except that they're very cute!" I think society is entitled to respond, "Wow, that's a terrible idea."
I wouldn't want laws about minimal dog-ownership standards, but social censure is better at handling nuances than the law is.

I remember seeing a link to one of the political blogs (Pam Spaulding's, maybe?) that had a list of all of Obama's executive orders.
It was nice to see his labor EOs today, considering he still doesn't have a Labor Secretary confirmed.
I was wondering when and where Obama would make his first foreign trip.... Obama To Canada On First Foreign Trip As President
On his first trip abroad, President Obama will make a traditional trip to Canada in his first few weeks as President. The date for the trip is just a few weeks away, set for February 19.
It's traditional for new presidents to go to Canada first? Man, the things I don't know....
My pig is ready! I ordered a side of pork (to share with 4 other households) through a local grower's association and it is ready already. 107 pounds of pork. I am expecting to be boggled, but it's kind of cool. We'll have a pork-dividing party tomorrow after I go pick it up.
I'm having flashbacks to "Little House in the Big Woods," when they have their pig butchering party.
So, who gets the pig's tail?
