@TexasGal, I don't believe so -- at least I didn't see any signs handed out. It's possible she was with a larger group and that guy was with them. (I also noticed the graphics were the same.)

Coming out of mostly-lurkerdom because I SAW FARRAH AT THE MARCH in Austin yesterday! As we were leaving the rally, I saw this very Kardashian/Hollywood/stripper type walking right in front of us and had one of those "How do I know that person?" moments, then gripped my husband's arm really tightly and hissed "ZOMIGDTHAT'SONEOFTHETEENMOMS!!" (When I'm watching reality fare, he'll wander into the room, ask if he needs to know why these people are famous, I tell him no, he leaves.) She was wearing a lot less makeup than she usually does, and--whatever it is she's done to her face notwithstanding--looked better for it. More natural, if that's possible with the fire engine red hair and plastic features. She is in pretty amazing shape. They were with another mom (friend? Does Farrah have friends?) and kid Sophia's age. Sophia surprised me by looking/acting far less feral than I've seen on the show. We encountered them right as we saw the one counter-protester I saw the whole day, and Farrah made some word salad commentary in that distinctive voice. She posed for a couple of selfies with random dudes. It was relatively uneventful, but I still was mildly D-list starstruck. Who knows if she was there as an actual concerned mom/citizen or if this was a photo opp for her Insta followers.

Anyone else see this? http://gawker.com/did-jessa-duggar-get-caught-fucking-in-church-after-her-1655581133 ...it reads like a spoof blog, so I doubt the actual account's veracity...though the idea itself is totally plausible. And if so? Who cares. Go for it, Blessa & Bin.

knees. KNEES!!! I feel so defrauded.

No idea what kind of pre-natal testing is acceptable in fundy-land, but the above discussion re: non-invasive genetic testing was probably referring to MaterniT21, a relatively new blood test that is becoming more widespread. No risk of miscarriage like with amnio or cvs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequenom#MaterniT21_PLUS I wonder if they even bother to do chromosomal testing, though. It wouldn't change what they're doing either way.

I think it *could* have been funny with a lighter touch.... He just hammered the joke home. Repeatedly. All puns intended.

Yes. I found it tacky. And --unlike the gross Vaughn comment revelation from Monet-- not really germane to the discussion about their relationship.

Most reaction has--justifiably--been about the Monet &Vaughn shitshow, and I applaud her for being frank. The love or money question was absurd. And Vaughn is a little man child who reminds me of my ex. *shudder* But...can we just talk for a second about the discussion of Doug's jerking-off habits/schedule? Ew!! If we're going to call out Monet for even mentioning Vaughn's gross handy request, then surely we can acknowledge Doug's nasty "release" conversation. Bleah.
