The next President of the United States will inherit the keys to the social media kingdom:
What happens to President Barack Obama's 11.1 million Twitter followers on Inauguration Day? The White House says Obama's official @POTUS account will be taken over by the next president, who will start with a huge following but a clean slate of tweets. Obama's tweets will move over to a new handle, @POTUS44, by the National Archives and Records Administration.
The same will take place with Obama's Facebook and Instagram accounts, along with other Twitter accounts including Michelle Obama's @FLOTUS and Joe Biden's @VP accounts.
You can read all about it on the White House weblog.

I'm still in awe of the old-school foul-up, the hanging chad.

To me, a "hanging chad" just sounds like someone didn't learn how to wipe their arse properly.
Genius by birth. Evil by choice.

It's Dangling Chad, and they don't call him that for no reason!

As any real Aussie knows, they're called "dags", as in "rattle your dags!"
