ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Google's habit of celebrating holidays like New Year's, Halloween, Christmas and Thanksgiving by altering its logo to match the season's theme has been extended in the past to honor the birthdays of famous inventors, scientists, artists and musicians, as well as Earth Day and the Persian New Year, but on the day Americans honor those who died serving their country, it's business as usual at the Internet-search giant.



Memorial Day visitors to the website found Google's standard logo – but no mention of Memorial Day. This was true as well at the company's news-search site.

Since 1999, Google has redesigned its logo for major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, as well as minor ones like Ground Hog Day and St. Patrick's Day. It's even honored artists like Picasso, Monet, and Andy Warhol as well as Earth Day and the Burning Man festival."

"Democrats: Today's 'Tokyo Rose'"'

COMMENTARY SNIPPET: "''Your President is lying to you.''

''This war is illegal.''

''You can't win the war.''

These phrases have been repeated over and over again by voices in the Democratic Party. Why in the world, during a time of war, would any American publicly say things so inflammatory and negative while troops are in harm’s way?

Why would folks like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, John Murtha, John Kerry, and Al Gore and friends continue this daily dose of Democratic attack on the president in his efforts to fight the war on terror? What is it that motivates members of Congress to openly berate with words like ''liar,'' ''betrayal,'' ''illegal"?'"


COMMENTARY SNIPPET #2: "I received an e-mail from a dear friend the other day that reminded me of a time in American history when similar language was used. During World War II, our enemies developed a method specifically designed to demoralize our troops fighting for the future of the Free World. It was a method that, after years of development, psychological warfare experts were confident would have a devastating effect on American GIs. These experts produced scripts that were provided to a famous broadcaster who, everyday, would package three main points in different ways while the core message remained the same:

Your president is lying to you
This war is illegal
You cannot win this war

The famous broadcaster was ''Tokyo Rose.'' Each day her goal was clear. Do everything she could do to impact the fighting men in hopes of one day breaking their morale and ultimately causing them to give up. She failed. The American GI was focused on the mission. He was resolved to fight the good fight and make his country proud. Honor was the highest calling, not scoring points in the media.

Listen closely to the words coming from the Democrats and you will hear, verbatim, the same words used by ''Tokyo Rose'' with one slight difference. Reid and Pelosi claim to support our troops before they demoralize them. Hey, wait a minute. ''Tokyo Rose'' told our soldiers she was on their side just like the Democrats are telling our troops today. I guess there is no difference."
