Our world. Musical, gorgeous, filled with contradictions, and a massive, big, blue marble of wacked out insanity joined together by a common tune.
I love it.
I love it all.
Two legends doing what they do best. I've always been a Danny Kaye fan and have always felt his musical ability was overlooked. To keep up with Louis Armstrong in any capacity is a feat in and of itself, and Kaye's musicality is unmistakable here.
And then there's Satchmo himself. The divine, rough, soulful, gruff demeanor Louis provides is his trademark. His trumpet is almost a part of him, but the other side (as with Danny Kaye) is a real treat. His ability to scat, and to sing with from his soul has never been equaled. There's a true joy in his voice that always makes me smile and keeps me smiling for hours.
This is a miracle of a duet.
By the way, I have no idea what this is from. If anyone knows, could you post it for me please?
Otherwise...enjoy.

As surprising as it seems, and as shocking as it continues to be, yet another hypocrite and active political bigot is caught with his pants down. This time, not only did the Governor lie to his staff about his whereabouts for the last 6 months, but he left his wife and four little boys on Father’s Day to frolic with his mistress in Argentina.
What a charmer.
After going AWOL for seven days, Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday that he had secretly flown to Argentina to visit a woman with whom he was having an affair. Wiping away tears, he apologized to his family and gave up a national Republican Party post, but was silent on whether he would resign.
"I've been unfaithful to my wife," he said in a news conference in which the 49-year-old governor ruminated on God's law, moral absolutes and following one's heart. He said he spent the last five days "crying in Argentina."
At least one state lawmaker called for his resignation. As a congressman, Sanford voted in favor of three of four articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, citing the need for "moral legitimacy."
Moral Legitimacy. That kills me.
