Google (No recognition of Memorial Day on Home Page)

Google [Jonah Goldberg]

It's kind of sad. They change their homepage logo for all sorts of holidays and occasions. Just last week they paid tribute to Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday. But Memorial Day doesn't seem to rate anything at all.

Update: A reader sends this along:

It's worse than you think. Google doesn't always do logos for the same days every year, but they've never changed their logo for Memorial Day.

Why is a flash presentation a .exe file?

Tommy
Rudyard Kipling

I have never read that poem before - thanks for posting it. What's remarkable is how clearly the moral is presented with coarse, almost crass wording. I will be familiarizing myself with more Kipling.

I'm copying that

Still not there at 12:24 EDT. It boggles the mind.

Does Yahoo usually acknowledge holidays like Google does?

Well, Yahoo has an actual front page with news and features and such on it, so they're pretty much always acknowledging holidays, all of them, in one way or another. Google, on the other hand, only has that stupid graphic, so every choice they make is a direct reflection of their own leftist political biases.

Does recgnize Memorial Day.

But, this is fine with many of the fiscal conservatives on FR. The only thing that's important in capitalism today is the bottom line and huge bonuses for top executives. Patriotism be damned.

Instead of complaining like a lib, create your own search engine then.

That's what conservatives are supposed to do: compete in the market.

What is the best alternative to Google?

[FreedomCalls]

I'm trying out http://clusty.com/

There's no recognition of Memorial Day on Clusty either. No mention at all. They must be lefty, communist, Amerikkka-hating pinkos too.

I've been using Ask and am happy to see that they have acknowledged Memorial Day with an appropriate logo.

Merry Christmas (apparently not) from the Google Grinches:

When sending an inquiry via that form, send it to "A Legal Matter." These will be considered higher priority and maybe all the freeping inquiries will tick off their lawyers, who will forward to the appropriate department.

Unless I missed something, Easter hadn't been acknowledged since 2001 and "Christmas" is never mentioned by name and never even acknowledged with even secular Christmas symbols, mostly winter stuff.

***That is exactly why I use Dogpile ... ***

Thanks, forgot about Dogpile, I just switched my default search engine to it.
