Definitely a lot easier on this guys eyes than the old White House web pages from back in the naughty nineties.

Do new domain owners now need to spring for every conceivable TLD combination of their moniker? Way back then I grabbed .com, .net, and .org just to be safe. Now there must be several hundreds. Good business for them that sell that stuff.
