Oh, White House: I love you.

[DiosaBellissima]

Not literally the White House (I mean, it's nice and all), but more like the Official White House Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/whitehouse). Whoever runs this account gets thumbs up from me (and, fwiw, I like to imagine it's Obama himself because, ya know, what else does he have to do during the day, right?).

Anyway, so today, David Wiggs (http://twitter.com/#!/wiggsd) mentioned the White House in the following Tweet (http://twitter.com/#!/wiggsd/status/96288078137786369):

This WH correspondence briefing isn't nearly as entertaining as yesterday's. #TCOT #WHchat

To which the official White House Twitter account replied (http://twitter.com/#!/whitehouse/status/96291538044329985):
whitehouse The White House
@wiggsd Sorry to hear that. Fiscal policy is important, but can be dry sometimes. Here's something more fun: tinyurl.com/y8ufsnp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) #WHChat

For those of you who don't want to quick the link:
It links directly to "Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley, via Youtube.


I may vote for Obama on this basis alone. Just sayin'. :D

Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.
If you see them, show them this information:

and then a hex dump.

Kind of takes the fun out of it when the video is delayed by an ad, but you can see the title.

He knows how to use Twitter. Look at his laptop with the Presidential seal.

This is what I was gonna say. Kinda takes the punch out of the Rickroll.


And I'm always amazed at how young Rick Astley is in that video. When that came out, I just thought he was a totally lame old dude. Now he looks like a totally lame little boy.

Someone in politics has a sense of humor?


I loves it!
