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.

Google Doodle’s get people talking about Google. And this is what Google wants.

Google Doodle, February 1, 2015 That was delightful.
Thanks for posting. I rarely use google anymore and would have missed it.

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

Langston Hughes must have been a communist to get a Google Doodle
