The White House uses the Force...
The Obama Administration set up a “We the People” petition system — where a petition by an ordinary citizen requires a White House response if it gets 25,000 signatures within 30 days — and they've had a lot crazy requests. This one is the best - as is the response.
Created on Nov. 14, 2012, the petition demands that the Obama Administration “secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.” It earned 34,435 signatures, more than enough to force a White House response, which was just posted to the White House Petitions website, penned by Paul Shawcross, Chief of the Science and Space Branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget. You can read it here, and yes, that's the actual title. It is quite simply the most awesome thing ever:
This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For.
Go. Read. Flail.
