Sorry, America - No Death Star for U.S.

[dreadfulpenny81.livejournal.com]

We don't have a Death Star, but we do have floating robot assistants on the Space Station, a President who knows his way around a light saber and advanced (marshmallow) cannon, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is supporting research on building Luke's arm, floating droids, and quadruped walkers.

34,435 people signed a petition requesting the U.S. government construct a Death Star for the purpose of national defense. The White House response was either intentionally or unintentionally funny, depending on who you ask. Star Wars fans will more than likely chuckle at the link alone.

I find it a little funny that they claim to be "working hard to reduce the deficit". That gave me a chuckle.
