White House officials are shamelessly pushing GOP House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's website today, and it's not because they want to help him get more page views.

Prominently displayed under "FLOOR UPDATES" on the site are the words, "The House is not in session" -- a pronouncement that would seem to undercut Republican assertions that Congress actually is in session, and therefore President Obama's recess appointments last week were illegal.

White House social media guru Jesse Lee Tweeted a picture of Cantor's site earlier today with the hash tag #recessfloorupdates. Press secretary Jay Carney -- responding to a question about the legal basis for the recess appointment of Richard Cordray -- also urged reporters to visit Cantor's web site.

"Just as The Tipping Point provides an explanation for big changes, Rob Kall offers a unified explanation for the magic behind the success of the biggest tech companies, the Arab Spring, Occupy and the social media revolution? An important, big picture, visionary approach weaving together technology, economics, evolution, science and personal relationships -- even happiness -- to describe a wave of change as significant as the invention of the printing press that is well under way -- a wave that could rescue the planet from the top-down system that afflicts the planet."
