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): > [@](#): > > wiggsd David Wiggs > 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’. 😃 ---

Whoa. I got a 500 internal server error. 500 Internal Server Error 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. ---

[Obama Tweets From White House](http://www.whitehouse.gov/photos-and-video/video/2011/07/06/president-obama-tweets-white-house) He knows how to use Twitter. Look at his laptop with the Presidential seal. ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > Kind of takes the fun out of it when the video is delayed by an ad, but you can see the title. 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. ---
