Happy Easter!
Here’s my Easter post from 2009; it’s only 12:30 AM on the West Coast, so maybe Google will update their splash page later today, but based on past experience, I’m not holding my breath:
Not surprisingly, I can reprint verbatim my Easter post from two years ago. And something tells me I won’t need to add an update later in the day correcting it:
Since this newly-born “holiday” lacks the historic significance of, say, World Water Day, Google, starting from zero, sits this one out with no special logo on its splash page. Again.

And these days, some presidents as well.
More later today.

Three years running.
Maybe someone could email google and tell them today is an ancient pagan holiday celebrating talking rabbits and they’ll whip something up.
Ditto for Yahoo! As always.
There is a feature on the origins of the Easter Bunny, which is actually a small break from the joys of living in a tiny house, what insurance companies/realtors/banks/Republicans “won’t tell you” and the “10 worst fast food meals in America”.
OT: While flipping through the channels last night I stopped on the History Channel’s grudgingly obligatory Jesus special long enough to see a promo for “How The States Got Their Shapes” when the host held up the shape of Alaska and said — wait for it — “and you can see Russia from this one”. They should do a show on how they help shape the progressive agenda by recycling lies and things people they don’t agree with never actually said.
Happy Easter.
