So this Retard’s talking to another Retard on Retard News Sunday, about a Retard who called a bunch of other folks Retards at a private meeting that some Retard leaked to the Retard Street Journal. Seems the Retard’s upset that the other Retard used a word that denigrates her special-needs child, whose special needs apparently don’t include staying at home instead of riding the Retard’s shortbus so she can wave him around at other Retards while signing her Retard book.

It’s violence, committee meetings, commercialism, and a pure hatred of all things Tim Tebow.  America, eat your heart out.  Literally.

It’s your Second Annual Stinque Super Bowl Liveblog everyone!  More commentary and hijinks post-jump.

1806 (ET) — Well, just got back on a drive from Saint Louis, for a Blackhawks road game.  Hawks fans arrived in droves all day yesterday.  It was a cool vibe, as you might suspect.  Something about Sport binds certain folks together.  It’s hard to describe, really.  Saints’ fans have the same mentality, as you know.

1817 — WARNING: the Internets are clogging up something fierce at the moment.  Technical difficulties are not limited to the refs’ field mikes.  Bear with us.  (ADD: Maybe it was just my computer getting balky for no good reason, momentarily.  All is well.)

We were deeply suspicious when the rumors of Talibunny’s cribnote palmistry broke out last night, especially when the evidence on hand revealed at best a suspiciously demonic symbol.

But with AP photos coming out this morning, HuffPo has the proof: Not from the Q&A session, but Sarah Palin’s Teabagger speech that preceded it.

Energy

Budget Cuts

Tax

Lift American Spirits

Nice touch crossing out “budget”. That really is how her mind works.

So we guess we should take back the nasty things we said about HuffPo and ThinkProgress jumping to wish-fulfilling conclusions. Hey, we also gave Balloon Dad the benefit of the doubt until the evidence was irrefutable. We’re fools for fact-checking.

Palin’s Tea Party Crib Notes [HuffPo]

Weisberg, on our ever-shifting view of government:

The usual way to describe such inconsistent demands from voters is to say that the public is an angry, populist, tea-partying mood. But a lot more people are watching American Idol than are watching Glenn Beck, and our collective illogic is mostly negligent rather than militant. The more compelling explanation is that the American public lives in Candyland, where government can tackle the big problems and get out of the way at the same time.

Negligence, yes, but with a healthy does of ignorance. Again – if we keep electing people, of either party, who are anti-science, anti-progress, and anti-constituent, we’re fucked.

Title: “I Am Ozzy”

Authors: Ozzy Osbourne and Chris Ayres

Rank: 19

Blurb: “People ask me how come I’m still alive, and I don’t know what to say.”

Review: “How could Ozzy write a book? He’s dyslexic and doesn’t read. Well, how can he write songs if he’s musically illiterate and doesn’t play an instrument?”

Customers Also Bought: “Capitalism and Freedom,” by Milton Friedman

Footnote: What? He doesn’t narrate the audiobook version?

OMG!!!!1! Did we miss the most awesome historic moment of Talibunny’s Teabagger speech?

“Sarah Palin Caught Reading Her Speech Off Her Hand!” screams Oliver Willis!

“She then seemed to forget her next talking point and glanced down at her left hand, as if there were notes she had scribbled down,” raves ThinkProgress!

Well, let’s have a look…

We’ve been calling her Talibunny for so long — almost from the start, really — we’re astonished that we’ve never seen fit to use the Killer Rabbit to illustrate a Sarah Palin post.

Consider that oversight rectified.

And what better moment than now to drop in on a bunch of crazy people pretending to live in the Dark Ages? Because starting at 9 p.m., and continuing for two tortuous hours, Fox News will be broadcasting Talibunny’s speech live from the National Tea Party Convention. And because we have nothing better to do, we’ll be following along with our Open Thread/Holy Hand Grenade Launcher.

Need more incentive? Palin will be introduced by Andrew Breitbart, who pays the ACORN Pimp’s salary, if not his lawyer’s bill. And we think Palin will be accompanied on stage by Joseph Farah, porn-stached proprietor of WorldNetDaily.

It just doesn’t get any better than this. And if it does, there’s always the Ark.
