Google Ignores Memorial Day
By Warner Todd Huston
This from one of the websites I am a contributor to:
Obviously what we have with Google now is that they have let their 'power" get to their heads. Instead of being the information service they started out to be, they have decided that they should mold content to teach all us idiots on da web who r too stoopid 2 kno what it good and what is bad!
Like the Mainstream Media they have gone from mere reporters, mere chroniclers to activists with the elimination of conservative sites and now deciding not to celebrate our armed forces as the fruits of their turn.
I am about fed up with these jerks!
This from one of the websites I am a contributor to:
NewsBusters reader Mr. Snuggles has pointed out something conspicuously absent from Google’s various pages today – any reference to Memorial Day.(For link:click here)
I’m sure most Googlers are extremely aware of how Google will dress up its logo at its web search or news pages in honor of holidays or special occasions. Google has been known to do this on Halloween, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, etc. In fact, here is a display of all the Google holiday logos so far this year, and since 1999. You’ll even find that Google celebrated Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s birthday just a week ago. For those scratching their heads, he created Sherlock Holmes.
Yet, if you go to Google’s home page here, or its news page here, you will see nothing commemorating today’s national holiday. By contrast, Google did honor the Persian New Year on March 21, as well as Louis Braille’s birthday on January 4.
Furthermore, if you go back through the Google archives, you'll find that, although it has over the years commemorated Shichi-go-san being celebrated in Japan, Bastille Day in France, and Korean Liberation Day, it appears that Google has never dressed up its logo for Memorial Day.
Why might that be?

I used to be a huge fan of Google, but over the past few months my opinion is changing - and not for the better. Why haven't they done a single thing to update and upgrade blogger? They have added pratically nothing new to blogger since its inception. They better get moving because I am about ready to move my blog onto a different, more user friendly blog host.
They could have at least put an American flag up yesterday!!
