Why are you sitting on that? That website would take about 15 hours to build and will most likely earn you more than a few bucks for doing nothing.

any suggestions on the best scripts to set something like this up? I have a similar "ornot" site that I would love to get off the ground but not sure which platform to choose

Scripts?

It's a database table with images with scores that are randomly accessed and presented to the user.

When the user clicks on a photo, + to score, and reload the page with new photos.

All the rest is just candy, really.

Point being either it is trival to create this yourself, or you could google it.

You could have an automated site extracting whitehouse photos from here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse and allow users to customize. edit: "The photograph may not be manipulated in any way or used in materials, advertisements, products, or promotions that in any way suggest approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House." maybe not.

I'm pretty sure any picture that looks like a "nut punch" will not suggest endorsement of the President.
