Michelle Malkin reports:
Inspired by President Obama’s “Sputnik moment” speech back in January, the government-sponsored Smithsonian Institute has launched a new blog called“Department of Innovation”…
Sharp-eyed reader Rob M. certainly found the “Department of Innovation”s logo entertaining. You will, too.
Take a closer look:
As Rob wrote me this morning: “Check out the logo. 3 interlocking gears arranged in this fashion will not move in any direction. They are essentially locked in place. Which when you think about it, is a perfect analogy of today’s government!”

Go to the website and it’s been changed. Sheesh.
Ed. note — Thank you to everyone for your comments about our logo. We have since shifted the gears and switched in a new logo.
Big picture about that “innovation” logo: Gears? Really? For the 21st c.?
It looks like an iconic throwback image in support of Soviet prole-industrialism.
we already have a patent office. this disrespects us.
Nothing says government better than duplication of effort
