I should check out "30 Rock". Tina Fey is riotously funny (also hot) and has the same sense of humor I do, just funnier. One of her best lines on SNL was not long before 9/11, when Rudy Giuliani was still the lame duck and increasingly unpopular mayor of NYC. The story in the news at the time was Rudy trying to shut down an exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art that he considered objectionable, apparently on religious grounds. Tina's take: "I don't want to see that kind of filth when I go to the museum with my mistress." (Referring to Judy Nathan, who is now Mrs. Giuliani #3 and the incumbent).
