Instapundit points out that .Yahoo, Ask, and other search engines take notice of Memorial Day on their main pages. Google, however, does not. I guess Google thinks that Memorial Day is less worthy of note than Earth Day, the first day of Spring, Persian New Year, and other such days.
Chalk another one up to the Right-Wing Outrage Machine! This one seems about as far out there as Michelle Malkin's recent hissy-fit at Dunkin' Donuts because a scarf that Rachel Ray was wearing in an ad looked a bit too Arab to her.

Now, off to the picnic. No, a small note and a happy one for our community; no one who graduated from our local high school has died in the current war. Many, many have served, and today we were grateful, as many of us are every day.
I think RF is pro-terrorist.
This tendency to take Google to task over the holidays they "acknowledge" bespeaks a brittle sort of patriotism.
Must we all drape ourselves in red white and blue to love our country now?
