I've got a new piece up at The Guardian's Comment is Free about the wingnuts going apeshit over Google's logo: "[I]t appears that Google had the unmitigated temerity to honor the 50th anniversary of the Sputnik launch last week, by replacing its second "g" with a drawing of the satellite. But it's not just their honoring of dirty Communist space junk that has conservatives questioning the patriotism of The Google—apparently those search engine scumbags also failed to do some silly rubbish with their logo on the US public holidays of Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Oh, the humanity!"

The whole thing is here. Enjoy!
