"Money is just paper and superfluous." -- Octomom

[rvablue]

This is what she just said in regards to a question as to how she intends to support her kids.

I just saw a short clip on TV, so there's no link.

Oh, boy.....I certainly hope CPS are going to be keeping an eye on her, for the sake and safety and welfare of those kids.

I think you actually need some of that "paper" to buy diapers, food, medecine...

[ORDagnabbit]

1. and we the taxpayers like always have to pay for these kids... mandatory birth control for everyone!

[Deja Q]

6. You can give a horse a condom, but you can't force him to put it on.

[GA_ArmyVet]

7. Thats one big condom.....nt

[ORDagnabbit]

13. LOL...true..but what about snipping teenagers till they pass a parenting test?

snipping either in the form of hormones or physical implants to impede procreation

[dysfunctional press]

15. wow. how orwellian a prospect is that?

or is it more mengeleian...?

[ORDagnabbit]

16. I prefer humane... we do it to pets

[dysfunctional press]

20. did it ever occur to you that people aren't pets?

:shrug:

[Zomby Woof]

19. Could be Swiftian

[SidneyCarton]

23. Maybe we should just remove everyone's gonads

and reproduce asexually?

:crazy:

[LSparkle]

2. It's not just paper when you have several crying infants ... and no food

I'm an adult without children -- or even pets --
because although I can tell myself there just isn't
money for any dinner tonight, it's not as easy when
you have a child or animal who won't understand
that.

She's a young woman and may think she's invincible,
that she can always "muddle through somehow" but I
worry she just doesn't understand how difficult
times are going to get, and she has all those
mouths to feed.

[rvablue]

4. Yep, every year she's going to have to buy

14 pairs of shoes.

14 jackets.

14 of every freakin' thing a kids needs.

I caught another clip and she said something to the effect: "God will provide us with what we need."

So, I guess God just hates all of those families who live in poverty....:sarcasm:, of course....

[LSparkle]

10. I knew there was a religious angle to this ... Jeremiah, Micah ...

When I heard her naming off the children, I could tell
there was a religious motivation to her procreation.
She probably aspires to rival some of the Biblical
matriarchs in their productivity ... What's next?
Challenging Sarah for the title of "oldest mother"????

[anonymous171]

14. God is probably sending a CPS agent to the home at this very moment. nt

[Kansas Wyatt]

36. So, her Plan B is to target Churches for "help?"

Doesn't look like Plan A worked out too well for her, since most think she had no business seeing how many kids she could litter.

[slampoet]

45. Some years she's going to need to buy 28-42 pairs of shoes...

because there are some grow stages where kids go through 2-3 pairs of shoes a Year EACH!!!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Yes, it's superfluous. Unlike collagen injections.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

5. She mispronounced

"superfluous."

Did you see the pictures of the babies? They are adorable. I mean, what newborns aren't, but these babies - a couple of them - are already beautiful.

http://www.nypost.com/photos/galleries/news/nationalnews/pp_20090209_octuplets/photo01.htm

That woman has money for in vitro fertilization, lip jobs, a French manicure while she's still in the hospital, and nothing else. Her mother has been quoted as saying that she's leaving when her daughter comes home, her father's already gone (the parents were divorced ten years ago but continued to live together for economic reasons), and the story about the house where they live with the first six children is startling - the house is described as "filthy."

You can see it here - and check out what Nadya looked like before the facial work she's had done - a whole different look, no?

I'm betting those children will go from the hospital into foster care since their mother will be unable to show that she can provide a suitable home for them. Hell, I want to know how she plans to GET them home - in what vehicle? She can't even afford baby seats, let alone diapers and formula. No room for cribs, no money for food, and who's gonna pay the mortgage?

Watch. Child Protective Services will have no choice but to intervene, as well they should.

[rvablue]

8. Thanks for the link

I saw one photo posted here today of the house....unbelievable and gross!

I've got dial-up and need to get off the computer, but I'm going to look at that slide show tomorrow.

If this woman was out getting her face chopped up when she has that many kids and isn't working, that is disgusting.

Why do you need plastic surgery, save being horribly disfigured, when you are 33, anyway?

The babies are adorable. And frankly, I'm glad that this story is getting media attention, for the kids' sake.

[dgibby]

11. So you can look like Angelina Jolie?

[Sal Minella]

12. Those lips look like they're going to explode.

I hope it doesn't happen while she's holding one of the kids.

[rvablue]

17. What? n/t

[carlyhippy]

35. she honestly acts like she is trying to be Angelina, strange

poor kids, this woman doesn't have Angelina's income.

[JI7]

41. i wonder if negative comments about her parents are about trying to be like Jolie also

how Angelina doesn't have a good or any relationship with her father.

but in this octomom's case it's different since she is LIVING in their home and they are taking care of her kids.

[SoCalDem]

22. That's a plastic nose too.. n/t

[slackmaster]

28. Angela looks frightening

Or maybe just pissed off.

[slackmaster]

29. Double-tap

Or stutter-punch if you are over 50.

[Fire1]

37. I know her mother looks like the wicked witch of the east.

[Lance_Boyle]

46. Striped stockings sticking out from under a house, with red shoes?

I believe that's all we ever saw of the wicked witch of the east...

;-)

[Inkyfuzzbottom]

9. No one could possibly take this woman seriously,

she's batshit crazy. Someone needs to take all 14 kids from her NOW.

[TahitiNut]

18. She makes my skin crawl. Seriously. There's something alien about her.

She's like some cartoonish simulation of a mother -- some superficial, predatory mannequin. For some reason, I'm reminded of the movie 'Species' with Natasha Henstridge. (Yikes.)

[SidneyCarton]

25. Then I pity the poor plastic surgeon who has to give her a boob job.

(Killer tentacles and all...)

:scared:

[Ilsa]

21. And she doesn't consider food stamps "welfare." When she and the

babies are discharged from the hospital, she is going to discover how difficult life is when you are alone, with little money, and you find out that you've alienated most of the country and your immediate neighbors.

[slackmaster]

30. Technically they're not welfare, but that's just a nit

She's drawing large amounts of public assistance, and will surely be getting more (unless CPS takes the kids, in which case someone else will be drawing it).

[EmeraldCityGrl]

24. let them eat paper.

[Stevenmarc]

26. Just wait till the judge signs the "paper" that removes your children

[Blue_Tires]

27. damn i thought she was trying to actually WIN peoples' sympathies

every interview she has, she keeps lobbing these PR hand grenades which continue to prove she isn't grounded in ANY reality in this universe...

[EFerrari]

31. I can hear the CPS file being compiled now. I hope the department where she lives

is a decent one. :(

[NeedleCast]

32. Why is she still wearing a half-sleeve of hospital tags and tape?

[Control-Z]

42. She needs identification

to go into the nursery and see her babies. It's protocol with all births.

[carlyhippy]

33. forget the paper for a minute...the children also need emotional love and attention

how in hades is she going to be able to tend to each and every child and give them the proper amount of love and attention they deserve? There are not enough hours in the day, she will be burned out in a couple of months, these are babies, lady, you better get ready to be up all night and day to give them what they deserve, say buh bye to your mommie time.

[Ilsa]

38. Even her older children are babies. And I wonder how autistic

the developmentally disabled older child is? As a parent of one, I can attest to how much time they need, and how little time you feel like you are giving them.

[rvablue]

39. Yes, she doesn't have the time nor money to raise these kids and in the new portion

of the interview aired today, she said she would be going back to school in order to get student loans that would help her fund her household.

The only way to hang on to those loans is to complete a certain amount of coursework every semester.

It's sad really. These are HER kids now. But how wil she do it???

[Starbucks Anarchist]

34. I should tell my landlord that.

[smalll]

40. Thank God she's only Octomom rather than the Treasury Secretary --

although there are some parallels - cheat on your taxes OR spit out litters on purpose for pre-meditated dependents deductions.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

43. Yet she has a site asking for donations

Folks, this is what the "reality show celebrity" society has brought us.

[4lbs]

44. Wait a minute, that doesn't compute.

She says in the interview, "God will provide..." yet she has a web site for donations.


Well, which is it... Will God provide, or will the American taxpayer?

Also, if "money is just paper, and superfluous", then what the hell does she want with MORE of it?!?!?!?
