On inauguration day, I watched the outgoing president’s website and then watched the 44th President’s website rollover even before he was even sworn in as President. I was stunned immediately at the noticeable upgrade of design and functionality. I am not a democrat and didn’t vote for Barack Obama. That withstanding, I think that he only helps his presidency by keeping the official website of the President looking modern and user-friendly. It continues to impress and improve.

I am very impressed with the new White House App for the iPhone. It publishes the weekly addresses and the daily press briefings. You can watch the photos that the official photographers take of the First Family. It does so in a clean and professional way. On the whole, I wish I could train and pick the brains of some of the men/women who are responsible for the graphic design and back end building of the this site.

It is not easy to do and to do it where any goof or mistake is noticed and reported is really all the more impressive. If you haven’t looked at the website or the iPhone App, check it out when you get some free time.

So, I’m preparing myself in case I need to use one of these Dave Letterman’s past Top 10 zingers:
  • I can tell if people are guilty by looking at them.
  • If a police officer told me I was a bug, I would believe him.
  • Is it murder if I haven’t been caught?
  • My religion prohibits me from sitting near other people.
  • Would I have to bathe?
  • Can each of my personalities vote in deliberations?
  • Laws are for sissies.
  • I’m allergic to justice.
  • I’m deaf. (Answer questions thereafter by cupping hand and shouting “What?”)
  • A pit bull named [defendant's first name] just killed my baby.
  • I get dizzy if I try to weigh evidence.
  • An eye for an eye? I say we take his head for an eye! (Point at defendant).

Well, I wouldn’t use all of them, but there are a few.
