Google's Tribute to Our Vets
Google is getting a lot of mileage out of the special logo it uses on Memorial Day and September 11. They used it again in honor of Veteran's Day, for the eighth year in a row. Here it is:
It's much sharper than the one for Persian (i.e., Iranian) New Year don't you think?
Strangely, Google for Canada does honor Remembrance Day, the Canadian equivalent of Veterans Day. But US vets shouldn't take it too hard. As WorldNetDaily points out, Google has ignored Christmas and Easter too, despite honoring everything else from Percival Lowell's birthday to the lunar new year.
WND notes other ways in which Google's moonbattery manifests itself:
- Rejecting an ad for a book critical of Bill and Hillary Clinton while continuing to accept anti-Bush themes.
- Rejecting ads critical of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., while continuing to run attack ads against besieged House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas.
- Allowing the communist Chinese government to have the search engine block "objectionable" search terms such as "democracy."
Congrats to Google for taking on the great Al Gore as a senior advisor, and on their 100% blue rating from BuyBlue.org, signifying moonbat purity.
On a tip from Wiggins.

I did write to google last year and ask them about their apparent lack of observation of Memorial Day. This is what they wrote:
"Thank you for your note. We understand your interest in seeing a Memorial Day Google logo. If we were to commemorate this holiday, we'd want to express reverence; however, as Google's special logos tend to be lighthearted in nature, this would be a particularly challenging design.
We wouldn't want to create a graphic that could be interpreted as disrespectful in any way."
