With names like “Willy Spread” and “Nipple Spread,” sex condiments have to be good. They even come with a silver spreading knife, although you’re warned to warm up the knife before using.

“Cold steel can have a shrinking effect,” you understand. You don’t want your, um, soufflé collapsing before it’s served.

But now comes word of even worse hazards: the food scare in China has spread to naughty toppings.

I honestly thought Mac did a great job last night and finally called out Obama on his socialist ideals. Give the polls sometime and don’t fuel into the left wings fire. (RightWingNYGal25)

I bet the debate numbers are down again; I could be wrong; I’ll wait until Drudge posts them later. (pwest)

We had divine intervention in 2000, we can have it again. (c17wife)

I see [prayer] as the single most important act that believers can do to impact events and have been meaning to put up a commentary on prayer and the election. (wennejunk)

America’s Plumber is discovering the joys of being a media celebrity:

Turns out that “Joe the Plumber,” as he became nationally known when Senator John McCain made him a theme at Wednesday night’s third and final presidential debate, may run a plumbing business but he is not a licensed plumber. His full name is Samuel J. Wurzelbacher. And he owes a bit in back taxes.

But if there’s gonna be a rumble, tonight’s the last chance. And so we open the final 2008 Presidential Debate Liveblog/Open Thread/Chorus Audition, in the hope that somehow, somewhere, we’ll find a new way of getting through this without emptying the liquor cabinet.

Burgess Meredith nails Psychogeezer four decades in advance.

Anyway, after Barry called out McCain as a chickenshit (hi, Mom!) for not mentioning Ayers to his face last week, McCain is promising not to pal around this time. As long as Bob brings it up. See, Tom didn’t ask about it, that’s why McCain didn’t say anything. Never mind that he managed to announce a major economic program just seven minutes after the opening bell.

(No, not yesterday’s major economic program. The one before that. Don’t worry, he’ll have a new one next week.)
