Official White House Response: No-Go On Death Star

So remember last year when someone created a petition on whitehouse.gov requesting that the US government make plans to begin construction on our very own Death Star as soon as 2016???

Well, apparently Obama is going to ruin that fun, too, because the White House has now officially responded to said petition…

The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn’t on the horizon. Here are a few reasons:

  • The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We’re working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.
  • The Administration does not support blowing up planets.
  • Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?

This Isn’t the Petition Response You’re Looking For

Ok, so this response is actually pretty freaking amazing – be sure to click through the link to read the full report on this administration’s take on space technology and what we can do in the meantime! :mrgreen:

Who Goes Out and Buys a Gorilla the Day After a Gorilla Massacre?!

You see, it’s not just guns, people – we’ve got bigger problems on our hands … giant 600-lb, banana-eating hairy ones, at that!

 “Listen, it’s my God-given right as an American to have the freedom to own a gorilla to protect myself and my family,” said Nashua, NH resident James Harrington, 46, adding that he personally owns 12 different gorillas of various sizes, but keeps them “safely locked away in [his] home.” “And the government has another thing coming if they think they can come into my house and take away my gorillas.”

Are you a fan of theme parks?!

Well, not one of those crazy types of fans who thinks that everything is magical within their walls, but at least one who can take a good joke at their favorite park’s expense every now and then?

If so, then you definitely need to follow @FakeThemePark on Twitter…

Attractions Magazine also has a great interview with the CEO of this exclusive entertainment destination which is definitely worth a read, too!

A.I.G. a Bunch of Souless Bloodsuckers? Well, Duh…

So did you hear the news earlier today about how A.I.G. is considering suing the U.S. government after receiving $182 billion in bailout money a couple of years ago for nearly causing the collapse of the US economy at large???

It wasn’t something that even The Onion could’ve made up, but I enjoyed the even more bitter twist that humorist Andy Borowitz put on it in his latest column nonetheless…

“Let’s say that you’re trapped in a burning building and a fireman pulls you out to safety. Once you’re out of the fire, though, you notice that the fireman carelessly ripped the lapel of your Armani jacket. Shouldn’t you be able to sue the fireman for the full cost of its replacement?”
