  1. Tina Fey is awesome. Smart, funny and sexy. I can't think of anyone who deserves this award more. Hasn't she pretty much written every funny thing in the last two years?

  2. She had me until..."cake?" Seriously? Cake more often taste better because it doesn't require as much skill to make, but pies are so much more diverse. Sweet, savory, pizzas, calzone, etc...
