Wow. Somebody contact Google and applaud them for customizing their logo to honor veterans, and this after celebrating Sesame Street for the past week. They dropped their usual PC party, for at least one day, to actually pay tribute to America's veterans with a touching logo involving a faceless veteran with a child at his feet, looking up, and saluting. Back on Lincoln's birthday, last year, they had to celebrate Darwin's birthday instead. I was speechless until more inappropriate language came to mind. And with subsequent custom logos that alert surfers to a special day, their left-leaning web artwork has advertised their values as well. But today I guess there was no Marxist or rock star, born on November 11, to celebrate. Or, in wake of the Fort Hood shootings, it would be obviously bad form to supplant something patriotic with a logo reflecting "world citizenship" or tolerance of those with "different" world views. Either way, I appreciate what they did on this day, however short-lived. Who knows? Maybe we'll find out Che Guevera was born on November 12th tomorrow, eh?
