Grifter queen Sarah Palin is speaking at some elitist college thing in California, and she is not going to let those pointy heads treat her like a common community-college dingbat and professional quitter ... which is exactly what she is, but so what, she is also SARAH PALIN, the teevee celebrity. And thanks to some students at Cal State Stanislaus who dug through the trash to find her half-shredded contract, we all get to know about all the stuff she demands when she does one of her $100,000 reading-off-her-hand things. Palin wants a Lear Jet to fly her down to Modesto ("private aircraft MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger"), a suite plus two rooms at the best hotel, and bendy straws in her water bottles. Oh yeah and this college foundation is screwed for trying to shred all this stuff, because of public finances and all that.

- You guys, David Vitter's gonna have some ChatRoulette conference on Tax Day, which is tomorrow (?!).
