Steve Lawrence passed away today at age 88. For you young folks (including me), he was a singer and actor known to our elders and Vegas-goers of a generation or two ago. You could look him up.
But I'd rather post Mike Myers' rendition of the man, as seen in one of my favorite SNL sketches.
Enjoy.

Had a beer with the Minister of Economic Affairs of Finland this evening. Yep. That’s right. He’s a BMRN candidate.
The Fins do a lot of shipbuilding like Hampton Roads, but they are up in Finlandia so instead of submarines they build icebreakers. That was all the talk. I can tell you for sure the “come here often?” quips I offered fell super duper flat. Every. Single. Time.
Finns to the right?

I love the idea of Whitney doing shipyard diplomacy over beers and bad jokes with self important people.
These were semi important people. Like I said, they were very short.
Is it too late for me to run for President?
