Anyone else check out today's U.S. google doodle? Today is Langston Hughes's 113th birthday, and I have no problem with that. The doodle is well produced and pleasing, but the tone and theme is so incredibly 1960's (or even 1950's) kumbaya, it has a certain anachronistic feel to it. It's worth checking out.
It's poetry, and good poetry, I believe. It's wonderful aspirationally, but a poor model for policy. Just me.

And shouldn’t today’s U.S. google doodle at least make a passing mention of deflategate?

I’ll have to google “anachronistic feel” first.

It’s what happens to a football when you deflate it by 1.8 psi.

Hell no.
The most inflated story since the the media inflated the importance of a stupid corny YouTube video as the reason for the Benghazi attack.
You give way too much importance to inflated non stories by the media, whether it be the news or the sports media. After all, they are both just as contrived in the way they will create stories from nothing just to ignore stories the public should hear about.

No wonder Tom Brady couldn’t explain it.

Brady is a doer, not a talker.

I agree. This is just one of the ways that Google drives people to their search engine.

I'm pretty sure that was Schroeder on the piano.

Was it the one-finger technique that gave it away? I thought it was Ken Burns, myself.
