~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~
With the Bush administration in the White House,
they're taking over the Whitehouse.gov website,
dumping old content in favor of fresh, updated pages.
The Top 14 Changes to the White House Website
- It's no longer a member of the "East Coast Swingers" web ring.
- Deleting the constantly recounted reader vote: Who do you want for President?
- "A Day in the Life of an Intern" page no longer red-flagged by NetNanny.
- New Vocabulary Builder page.
- "Welcome to The White House" replaced by "Welcoming to the House of White! I KISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!"
- Can't make any changes because Gore took the Internet with him.
- They just brought the TRS-80 out of mothballs and fired up the *old* Bush White House website.
- "Flying toasters! They never get old! Look, there's another one!"
- New page of Dubya's favorite drinks for the road.
- Upgraded security to foil that pesky hacker, 2004gore.
- The visitor counter displays a different result, depending on who looks at it.
- Far fewer "I certify that I am 18 " buttons on the splash page.
- Shiny things. Lots more shiny things.
and the Number 1 Change to the White House Website...
- URL officially changed to DubyaDubyaDubya.whitehouse.gov.
