Google has been doing the Sesame Street thang for four days - nothing about the fall of the Berlin Wall yesterday, for example.

And lets not forget how they failed to note the 20th anniversary of the take-down of the Berlin Wall.

and it’s been all “effing” week long! Enough of the Sesame Street crap already, we get it! Would have been nice to honor the Marine Corps today. Problem is the libs running Google don’t care and probably never even gave it a thought!

Bing didn’t either, although they have a great pic of Sao’ Palo. But Bing doesn’t have a history of problems with their search engine theme like Google.

Bing did a great 9/11 tribute.

So ... It's called freedom of speech.

I'm a big fan of freedom of speech.

In this case, freedom of speech has helped us to know that Google considers "Sesame Street" more important that the fall of the Berlin Wall, or the founding of the United States Marine Corps.

That's a useful bit of information.

Well, it is the second of the Marine Corps’ two birthdays. The first was in July of 1834 when they got their own regulations. This was changed to the 10th of November after WWI so that they could spend two days drunk.

Google was founded and run by a bunch of Marxists and I refuse to use Google any more than necessary.
I use Yahoo most of the time.
I don't trust nor like Google.

I switched my Favorites to Bing a few months ago. Haven't missed Google even a little.

They do exactly the same thing, but Bing is much more pleasant visually, and they don't have a leftwing political agenda.

Google is a private company. If you don't like the fact they don't celebrate pro-American holidays, anniversaries, or footnotes, then don't use them
