    I think Alec Baldwin was visibly relieved to have a middle aged man on the show whose weight's blown up even more than his own.

    @scroll_lock: Was at a rather intimate event Wednesday night and Alec showed up looking dapper- straight from a 30 Rock taping. He touched my arm at the bar. I wanted to reference 30 Rock/Jack Donaghy soooo badly, but it just turned into a dorky "I'm a big fan. You are funny," at the end of the night....I'm way cooler in my head. Sigh.

    Tonight's episode was hilarious; I loved every bit of it. And, honestly, I think my favorite part was Liz's reaction when the gay hipster cop said that the fireplace's lack of a duct caused his apartment to smell like Burger King all day and Cinnabon all night.

    I was about to leave a comment correcting the recycled joke bit, but then I realized I'd be a douche on the internet who corrects things all the time.

    Sadly, I still am, a bit.

    @bach.michael: It seems I performed the douche role this time.

    And I'm pretty sure Al Gore invented the internet so that douches could correct grammar, spelling and cultural references. Douche away!

    that "a whale is in trouble" line was also recycled from The Greenzo episode from Season 2.

    Al Gore has been making the rounds, and all his appearances have been entertaining and informative.

    Anyone else overly appreciative of Gore's aspirated "H" in whale? No, just me? Ok.

    They're moving to LA, ultimately they'll be closing down all the SF production. #currenttv

    A wholesale move to LA has been in the works for a while. The fact is this, the production talent pool for cheap cable production is pretty shallow in SF. Thus they've had to ship people in from LA and more far flung places to get skilled staff. A move to LA will bring their overall costs down considerably.

    These really are two different types of cars. The Fisker is a plug in hybrid that will go 30-50 miles on battery before buring oil.

    The Tesla goes 200+ miles and never burns any gas. The new sedan will go 300 miles.

    Fisker's car is EXACTLY the same technology as the plugin Prius--which you can install for $10k on a used Prius (which would cost $15-20k).

    If you drive under 50 miles a day (which some folks do) you're better off spending $25-30k on a plug in Prius today than waiting to drop $90k on the same thing from Fisker.

    If you want to go 200-300 miles you should wait for the $50k Model S from Tesla.
