Dear CNN,
You screwed up on the Duke Ellington coin thing, but I can see you know that as you are scrambling to cover your tracks.
I found a great resource for checking historical items: www.ebay.com. The cool thing is you can probably also score a great deal on some office supplies, or a beanie baby while you cross check the crap you put on your own website. There is also a site called wikipedia where you can while away hours honing your trivia skills and if the boss looks over your shoulder you can legitimately say "I'm working".
Your attention to this matter will keep myself and the rest of the 3rd rate (grade?) hacks from exposing you as an obviously biased tool of the left (not really sure about that myself, but I did read it on a blog, have you heard about blogs yet?).
Regards, Islander
Excellent.

Not quite. But at least I've seen THEM play live. And man was that ever great. They need a coin of their own. Mary got a guitar pick HANDED to her by Steve Cropper hisself.

Must be a fake, Duke Ellington is the first African American on a coin - I read it on the interweb. I have some too, I was hoping they had some collector value.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Jazz legend Duke Ellington is the first African-American to appear on an American coin, the U.S. Mint says in introducing the latest in its line of state-themed quarters. The District of Columbia coin honoring Duke Ellington will be introduced Tuesday at the Smithsonian. The District of Columbia commemorative quarter showing Ellington playing the piano will be introduced by U.S. Mint Director Ed Moy at a news conference Tuesday at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. Ellington won the honor by a vote of D.C. residents, beating out abolitionist Frederick Douglass and astronomer Benjamin Banneker. Also on the coin is the phrase "justice for all." The mint rejected the first inscription choice of D.C. voters, which was "taxation without representation," in protest of the District's lack of voting representation in Congress. Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington received 13 Grammy Awards and was a pioneer in jazz, according to his official Web site. Ellington was born in the District and composed more than 3,000 songs, including the notable "It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing," a song that helped usher in the swing era of jazz. Ellington performed with other famous artists, including John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, and he traveled around the world with his orchestras. He died in 1974 at age 75 Booker T. Washington is going to be sooooo pissed: I think I have a couple of those.
