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.

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
