Maddox from Cambodia, Zahara from Ethiopia, Pax from Vietnam, and now the grande dame of "I'm gonna save the world one child at a time" says she wants to adopt a fourth child.  This one from Chad, Central Africa.  What's behind this maternal drive to increase her flock?

To "balance her family," says Angelina Jolie, 31, about her decision to add another child to her growing single parent menagerie. (Oops, I forgot, dad Brad is there.  Or is he?)

A balanced family?  Angelina says she needs to balance the faces in the family so that Zahara's isn't the only black face at the breakfast table.  Sounds more like balancing a shoe closet or a teddy bear collection, to me.  A pink one here, a black one there.

Angelina has the money to help ANY child in this world; so why, if she's so keen on being an humanitarian, why are all her adopted children cute?  And whole?  And healthy?

Wouldn't a true philanthropist, especially an obscenely rich one, adopt a crippled child or a disfigured child or a child needing a barrage of expensive medical care?

No, of course not, because a true collector wants perfection: no bent corners, no missing parts, and no defects.  

Come on, Angelina, pull out all the stops.  Pick a kid who could really benefit from your wealth.  Pick a damaged one and really your stretch humanitarian limits.  

And then maybe we can stand seeing your smug face at the next self-aggrandizing event you attend.
