Google, Inc. = A Bunch of Snide Pricks

Today is the anniversary of the D-Day invasion , where allied troops began the liberation of Europe from Nazi domination. It is also the birthday of the great Spanish painter Diego Velazquez. Now, I love Velazquez's work and he is one of my favorites of the grand masters, but I simply can't see Google's choice of his Las Meninas as their banner logo today, to commerorate Velazquez, as anything other than an overt middle finger to the honorable history of America's role during WWII and to this country's generally laudable history of military valor applied in defense of cherished principles. I can just see the glee at Google HQ as they troll around looking specifically for something other than anything to honor the D-Day forces to put on the banner.
