NCIS Hits and Slaps

From The American Pundit, a note on Google:

Google MIA

Just wanted to note that Google has, once again, failed to change its logo for Memorial Day. While commemorating the anniversary of the launch of Sputnik and foreign remembrance days, the company has never marked Memorial Day by altering its logo. It only began marking Veterans Day last year.

Persian New Year? Yes. Yuri Gagarin’s entrance into space? Yes. Earth Day? Yes. National Teacher Day? Yes. Memorial Day? No.

And from John Hawkins at Right Wing News:

Some of those quotes include,

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.” — Barack Obama

“…White folks’ greed runs a world in need…” — Jeremiah Wright

“(Obama) really has no experience or knowledge or judgment about the issue of Iraq and he has wanted to surrender for a long time.” — John McCain
