There will be no Death Star this year.

What if we find some Wookiee slaves?

We shave them and put them in Leia’s slave girl outfit.

You think that would have been a GOOD idea, do you?

To be fair, I’m not sure they had a choice. I believe any petition with 25,000 signatures warrants an official reply from the White House.

Yes, but only because the administration itself has put that rule into place. They could instead have restricted that to “serious” proposals only, right from the outset. But they didn’t.

They also could have done a much more dry, serious, and/or “boilerplate” kind of response.

Gingrich would’ve built a Death Star. We had our chance and we blew it.
