Mr. President, why won't your administration address the Death Star proposal?

Official administration response: denied.

Keep in mind, space is no longer just government-only. Private American companies, through NASA's Commercial Crew and Cargo Program Office (C3PO), are ferrying cargo -- and soon, crew -- to space for NASA, and are pursuing human missions to the Moon this decade.

Even though the United States doesn't have anything that can do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, we've got two spacecraft leaving the Solar System and we're building a probe that will fly to the exterior layers of the Sun. We are discovering hundreds of new planets in other star systems and building a much more powerful successor to the Hubble Space Telescope that will see back to the early days of the universe.

 

Best line in the whole response: "Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?"

 

Jerry Jones has already built one anyway.

I'd settle for mandated laser-removal of AJ's chest tat - that thing looks malignant.

 

True, but I also loved how the response listed the estimated $850 quadrillion cost with all the zeros written out.

 

Finally, a petition worth signing.

 

brilliant

 

I read it yesterday and I was dying laughing the whole time. My roommate, who has never seen Star Wars, thought I was losing it.

I don't know who at the White House wrote the release, but well done sir. I also love that they aren't afraid to be goofy and nerdy on occasion.

 

HOW has your roommate never seen Star Wars?

 

These people exist.

They make me sad, but they exist.

To me, anyone who has ever been in a serious relationship should have seen certain movies.

It is the man's duty to make sure she watches Star Wars, The Godfather, and at least is aware of Scarface and Bad Santa.

It is the woman's duty to make sure he watches Love Actually and has at least an understanding of the importance of the movie musical and the Disney flick.

She has also never seen Back to the Future.

Also, Disney movies are awesome and I will not hear a bad word said against the classics.
