    Pedantry is an unhealthy habit

    Dear Max, if you're going to be a pedant, you should at least do the research before posting. Obama becomes President-elect when the electors vote, and President at noon on January 20.

    I've been on the Internet for twenty years, and the one constant over all that time is this bizarre alpha intellect thing, like dogs pissing on trees. Someone should do a study.
