Speaking of heroes

I'm with you, Matthew, on NBC's pathetic self-plugging on "30 Rock." The Conan line was a particular low, and I don't think we needed two identical Heimlich Maneuver gags. But I still got a kick of last night's episode for one very big reason: Alec Baldwin, my new hero. This man chisels away at his sitcom lines, molds them and shapes them, and turns every one of them into a work of art. Go ahead, make fun of me, but I stand by my words.
