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.

Did I miss Free Republic's home page tribute on Memorial Day???
Why is a flash presentation a .exe file?
I'm copying that
Still not there at 12:24 EDT. It boggles the mind.
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.
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?
There's no recognition of Memorial Day on Clusty either. No mention at all. They must be lefty, communist, Amerikkka-hating pinkos too.
Go to dogpile. http://www.dogpile.com/
I've been using Ask and am happy to see that they have acknowledged Memorial Day with an appropriate logo.
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.
Thanks, forgot about Dogpile, I just switched my default search engine to it.
