Never Forget...
Google has a long history of snubbing our soldiers. They snubbed the 65th anniversary of D-Day this year, choosing instead, to recognize Tetris, a computer game invented by a communist.
And today, Google snubbed Pearl Harbor. Well, normally, I'd just say "what's with those pinko commies", but then Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit pointed out that Bing chose to recognize the event - a defining moment in our nation's history. If you're not familiar with Bing.com, it's a search engine owned by Microsoft that's trying to gain marketshare and compete with google. Try it out and see if you can't use Bing instead of Google from now on. I know I can.

Six months ago, on December 17, 1941, a day that will live in infamy, or maybe not, the Japanese attacked the U.S. navy base at Pearl Harbor, in the territory of Hawaii. For those of you who are unaware, Hawaii is where I was born.
Since that time, I have attempted to open a dialogue with the Emperor of Japan, in an attempt to resolve our differences. Hopefully, negotiations can soon begin.
I have also listened to my generals and admirals. I have carefully considered the advice they have given me, about strengthening our defenses, and initiating a counter attack. Contrary to the claims that I am hesitant to take action, we are studying the feasibility of launching B-25s from an aircraft carrier to drop harshly worded leaflets -- printed on recycled paper -- over Tokyo, in the event that our negotiations fail.
Let us not forget that this attack was the result of Japan's need to secure sources of oil. I will soon be traveling to Copenhagen, to meet with other world leaders, to reduce the world's dependence on fossil fuels. If wind, solar, and other renewable sources of energy had been available to the Japanese economy, there would have been no need for them to engage in an act of war which resulted in oil spills and massive amounts of carbon being released into the atmosphere.

Classic. I've really enjoyed using Bing, as I like the amazing daily photographs.
