I usually try to keep it Non-Political, but this is too great not to share
During President Obama’s first term in office he initiated a web site called “We the people” On which Petitions could be set up and if enough Signatures where gathered the petition would warrant an Official response from the White House.
Recently a Petition was started in Order to secure funding and resources to begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.
With enough Signatures gathered all that was left was to sit back an wait for the “Official” Response. And when It came it was delightfully humorous, and well worth reading.

I can almost hear Dick Cheney complaining about how “we as a nation are missing a golden opportunity to secure our Dominance as a Inter-Stellar power”
It is fairly obvious that there are some serious Sci-fi Nerds on the oval offices staff.
I can’t believe they said no. It’s a freaking DEATHSTAR!!
They are just afraid they can’t do it. They’re chickening out, that’s what.
This may be of interest. Obama’s retort:
It’s almost like he’s saying that “if” the Death Star didn’t have that design flaw he would have considered supporting the endeavour. 😉
