Angela Suleman told The Associated Press she was not supportive when her daughter, Nadya Suleman, decided to have more embryos implanted last year. [2]

The woman who gave birth to octuplets this week conceived all 14 of her children through in vitro fertilization, is not married and has been obsessed with having children since she was a teenager, her mother said. [3]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The woman who gave birth to octuplets this week conceived all 14 of her children through in vitro fertilization, is not married and has been obsessed with having children since she was a teenager, her mother said. [2]

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The woman who gave birth to octuplets this week conceived all 14 of her children through in vitro fertilization, is not married and has been obsessed with having children since she was a teenager, her mother said. [4]

While her daughter recovers, Angela Suleman is taking care of the other six children, ages 2 through 7, at the family home in Whittier, about 15 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. [5]

David Diamond, a co-director for the Center for Reproductive Psychology in San Diego, said mothers can be drawn to repeat pregnancies for a number of reasons, with some finding the experience so satisfying they choose to become surrogates. [1]

“Maybe she wouldn’t have had so many kids then, but she is a grown woman,” Angela Suleman said. [4]

Her daughter’s obsession with children caused Angela Suleman considerable stress, so she sought help from a psychologist, who told her to order her daughter out of the house. [6]

Diane G. Sanford, a psychologist and author specializing in women’s reproductive mental health, said while she doesn’t know much about Nadya Suleman’s background, women that have obsessive-compulsive disorder can become fixated on different obsessions. [7]

“From what I could tell back then, she was pretty happy with herself, saying she liked having kids and she wanted 12 kids in all,” Garcia told the Long Beach Press-Telegram. [1]

Her mother and doctors have said the woman was told she had the option to abort some of the embryos and, later, the fetuses. [7]

There were frozen embryos left over after her previous pregnancies and her daughter didn’t want them destroyed, so she decided to have more children. [5]

Experts said this could be possible since Nadya Suleman’s system has likely been hyperstimulated for years with fertilization treatments and drugs. [1]

Doctors say the octuplets are a feisty bunch that appear healthy after being born kicking and crying. [8]

The first section of the book collects characteristically witty Boondocks strips from 2003 through 2005 on topics ranging from Iraq and Hurricane Katrina to the frustrations of computer help lines and the inanity of newly concocted slang. [1]

Aaron McGruder (born May 29, 1974, in Chicago, Illinois) is an American cartoonist best known for writing and drawing The Boondocks, a Universal Press Syndicate comic strip about two young African American brothers from inner-city Chicago now living with their grandfather in a sedate suburb. [2]

Since it started national syndication in 1999, McGruder’s comic strip has been famous for its sharp satiric perspective on African-American culture. [1]

The Universal Press Syndicate made the largest launch ever of a single comic strip in the history of the printed page when it debut ed an off-beat work in more than 160 newspapers that day (and 40 more by year’s end). [3]

Here’s the next big collection of Aaron McGruder’s The Boondocks, the most subversively funny, controversial, and politically engaged strip to be found in America’s comics pages. [...] This leads to Part III, The Controversy, which reprints many of the strips from 1999 onward that various newspaper editors refused to run. [1]

Through the leftist Huey (named after Huey P. Newton) and his younger brother Riley, a young wanna-be gangsta, the strip explores issues involving African American culture and American politics. [...] Later, during a 2003 reception hosted by The Nation, McGruder offended many attendees by defiantly recalling his support for Ralph Nader ’s 2000 presidential bid, which many liberals blamed for George W. Bush ’s election. [2]

Birth of a Nation starts with a scenario drawn from the botched election of 2000 and spins it into a brilliantly absurd work of sharply pointed satire. [1]

Everything from the characters’ (anime-influenced) designs to the handling of the bi-racial Jazmine seemed to stir the ire of someone no matter where the strip was published. [...] The strip is “The Boondocks”, brainchild of Aaron McGruder. [3]

McGruder currently lives in Los Angeles, California, where his projects include the Boondocks animated series and the Super Deluxe variety comedy series, The Super Rumble Mix Show. [2]

Problems set in almost immediately: Controversies rage over the name and national anthem of the new country (they decide on the Republic of Blackland with an anthem sung to the tune of the theme from Good Times), and local thug Roscoe becomes a warlord and turns his gang into a paramilitary force. [...] The Boondocks tracks the adventures of Huey and Riley Freeman, young black brothers who experience a culture clash when they move from southside Chicago to the quiet and safety of “The Boondocks,” a.k.a.
