TPM Editor’s Blog
The White House has officially responded to the ‘We the People’ petition to commit the US to building a Death Star.
Best line: “Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?”
Next best: “The Administration does not support blowing up planets,” which may represent a slight shift from the position of the previous administration.
