Welcome to the official website of the United States of America... we'd like to thank Joe Schmoe for making some Javascript. Now, moving on to foreign relation

  Sorry - if we can all take our clever cloggs hats off for a second... Usually as a developer, its a common courtesy to credit any piece of code that you re-use that someone else wrote within your code. It is also usually required by the GPL or whatever other license the code/plugin is distributed under. I couldn't give 2 tickles who coded the actual site, and not asking for a credit on the site UI. I do care about external people getting their credit though within the code, as that is only fair.

  Official website of the Executive Branch. There can be no official website of the United States unless Congress passed and the President signed a bill to the effect.

    Well, it doesn't have to be official in an operational way--couldn't it be an Official Website like an Official Bird or Official Plant is official? (Hope you're officially semantically sated.)
