Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have moved most of their brood into a rented house in Little Rock, 3 hours from home but close to University of AR for Medical Sciences, where baby Josie grows stronger after her premature birth on December 10.

About their leased abode Jim Bob gave Examiner.com an interesting factoid:

... Duggar... said the house they're renting was previously owned by the lady who started Planned Parenthood in Little Rock, and that Jordyn learned to walk there....

Melody Cash of Seattle said. "I can't believe they rented the 'Planned Parenthood' house and they have 19 kids - that's just too funny. "...

First, a Super Bowl commercial break by Snickers...

And now back to our sponsor, me.

In Round I of the liberal feminist rant against Focus on the Family, our counterparts set the women's movement back 50 years by behaving hysterically and, as it turns out, without warrant, in advance reaction to the anemic pro-life ad starring Pam and Tim Tebow.

In Round II we see the feminists trying to distract the audience as they wipe the egg off their faces by displaying another stereotype, that they have absolutely no sense of humor and walk around with corncobs up their patooties....

Posting good ones as I read them...

Gerard Nadal at Coming Home provides excellent analysis, catching a good comment by Christina at this blog, "When you're reduced to pitching a hissy fit that a mother brags about her baby, you're screwed."

(See both Tebow ads on page 2.)

UPDATE, 9:42p: On the other hand, if this is as far as CBS would let Focus do, it got us a foot in the door. And again, thanks to the best PR rep in the universe, abortion and the "choice" lie got millions and millions of dollars of free publicity.

UPDATE, 9:10p: You know, the only reason I'm not aggravated by how Focus so totally watered down the pro-life message in the Tebow ad as to make it practically nonexistent is all the conversation it triggered beforehand.

That this was thanks only to pro-aborts could also be aggravating, despite the rich irony, in that MSM is only interested in discussing our topic if pro-aborts are interested....

UPDATE, 6:06p: "Casket" made it into the top 3! Just aired. The 2 other top finalists were "Underdog" and "House Rules." Congrats, Mosaic!

8:31a: Tim Tebow's pro-life ad may not be the only one riling secular liberals during today's Super Bowl. We may also see an ad made by Mosaic Church in Pasadena, CA. It'll be for Doritos, and it won't be overtly Christian, but still - yet another sign Christians are daring to engage in pop culture, oh no!

Last autumn Doritos sponsored a Super Bowl ad contest, and by popular vote the Mosaic Church's "Casket" ad is now 1 of 6 finalists.

All 6 have already won $25k. But the top 3 vote getters, which are being kept secret, will air during the game today. And they each have a chance to win $1 million, $600k, or $400k, if ranked the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd most popular Super Bowl ad according to USA Today's Ad Meter.

Many members of Mosaic work in the film industry, and the church entered the Doritos contest to show Christians - shock - can be funny and relevant. Here's "Casket":

And here are the other 5 competing ads. Which are your top 3 favorites? Mine are, in order, "Kids these days," "Casket," and "House Rules."...

Hot Air says USA Today's alternate headline on this story could have been: "White House Super Bowl party now to feature two awkward moments." Here's that story:

There's a new Super Bowl surprise from Focus on the Family: a 2nd ad.

The evangelical group that bought ad time in the CBS game telecast will announce today that it has bought time in the pregame show to air a 2nd ad 4 times....

This week's People magazine cover story features Michelle, Jim Bob, and Josie Duggar, and it asks the inevitable question asked every time the Duggars have another baby, "How many kids are too many?"

They say they're leaving the kid count up to God...

Having a mega-family turned the devoutly Christian couple into reality sensations: Their TLC show 19 Kids and Counting... is in its 3rd season.... But for every fan of the show - the TLC special covering Josie's birth garnered more than 3 million viewers - there have been detractors in online chat rooms, on parenting Web sites and within the medical community, who have been critical each time Michelle has announced a new pregnancy on average every 18 months....

On February 2, the Left moved to its next predictable attack of James O'Keefe from its playbook, charging him with racism, including the disparaging graphic, right.

But the Left accusing O'Keefe of being racist against blacks is the equivalent of accusing Oskar Schindler of being racist against Jews....

Well, here's the 2nd time in 2 days I'm using this word: Ack.

Pro-abort Vanity Fair writer Andrea Buchanan scripted her dream anti-Tebow ad yesterday.

It's quite inspiring if you like to be depressed, which pretty much sums up the meaning of abortion, aside from death. Not to mention the fact Buchanan stereotypes, misleads, wildly exaggerates, and appears cynical, angry, clichéd, and bitter. Is this really the only way abortion proponents can sell their product?

My commercial would open with a wide shot of abortion protestors (many who are members of Focus on the Family) marching in front of the doors of a non-descript abortion clinic in anywhere U.S.A. I would show them shouting "baby killer" and "devil worshiper," and depict images of them throwing holy water on the women who are attempting to walk through the doors and see a doctor. I would cast the commercial starting with the anti-Tebows: the unattractive, the unfit, the look of stark raving mad....

A Focus on the Family rep mentioned yesterday that the Tebow ad has stirred conversation about abortion in very unlikely places.

Case in point, a National Football Post piece today.

It's quite interesting to read thoughts about abortion on venues that likely have never articulated an opinion about it. Love it love it love it.

I'm also entertained by the witty writing style. Maybe there's more to sports pages than I knew. My goodness, this Tebow ad is dawning all sorts of horizons....

Still more good news came this week when CBS... announced Monday it had sold all commercial slots available at yet again record average rates. This time, the rate was just north of $3 million per 30-second spot on average. Knowing that the economy still figured to be tight, CBS started selling early and finally closed out the broadcast's slots this past week.

The bad news, however, is that this doesn't include any advertising from some traditional staples of any football broadcast, including the Detroit automakers, and... Budweiser dramatically scaled back its media buy...

Which brings us to Heisman QB Tim Tebow....

So here's how I found out about this, while trolling pro-abort tweets (click to enlarge)...

... so I knew it had to be good.

Sure enough, GA Right to Life and the Radiance Foundation announced at a press conference today the launch of their "Endangered Species Project."

Already, according to GARTL prez Dan Becker, with whom I spoke on the phone, 62 of the billboards below have been erected in 2 majority minority GA counties (Dekalb and Fulton), where most (67%) of GA abortions are committed (click to enlarge)....

When last we left infamous MI late-term abortionist Alberto Hodari, he was trying to liquidate his assets while getting a divorce.

Super pro-life sleuth Lynn has discovered a lawsuit filed January 28, accusing Hodari of assault and battery for committing a intrauterine abortion on a mother who was actually carrying an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy.

On March 4, 2009, the mother went to an abortion mill in Dearborn but was turned away when the ultrasound tech couldn't find a baby.

On March 6 she decided to try Hodari's Womancare of Southfield mill, where an ultrasound was performed and an abortion committed by Hodari.

On March 15, still not feeling well, the mother returned to Womancare, where it was learned her pregnancy hormone was still elevated. She was told to go to the hospital, where the ectopic pregnancy was discovered. She underwent surgery and had the baby and her left fallopian tube removed.

Just another case of a legal front alley abortion. The mother is suing for $25k.

The new research suggests that standard tests may overlook patients who have some consciousness, and that someday some kind of communication may be possible.

In the strongest example, a 29-year-old patient was able to answer yes-or-no questions by visualizing specific scenes the doctors asked him to imagine. The two visualizations sparked different brain activity viewed through a scanning machine....

2/6, 9:35a: Les for Life at the Passionate Pro-lifer thinks the black athlete ad is going to boomerang. I agree that at some level great or small the Planned Parenthoodsponsored video rebuttal to the Tebow ad has afforded us the opportunity to point out how abortion is decimating the black race in America.

2/4, 11:13a: Ack. I've decided there is nothing Planned Parenthood does that doesn't make me sick. How's that for a double negative?

PP has produced a 1:07 video in response to Tim and Pam Tebow's upcoming Super Bowl ad, which I've reported on extensively.

Let me 1st acknowledge PP is attempting the right PR tack, unlike other pro-abort groups such as Ms., NOW, and RH Reality Check, which combined forces to wage a counter-productive public war against CBS to try to stifle pro-life free speech.

I note neither PP nor its CEO, Cecile Richards, were part of that mob. Smart.

Now PP is jumping in, 1st with a well-written introductory video by Richards. Note she respects and lauds Pam Tebow, then seamlessly segues to promote abortion, of course without ever saying the word...
