Death Star Petition on White House Website

Best stimulus proposal ever?

Forget the White House beer recipe — what the American people really want is a Death Star.

Well, 495 of them anyway.

A petition on the White House's "We the People" website calls for the United States to find funding and begin construction on a Star Wars-style Death Star by 2016.

"Those who sign here petition the United States government to secure funding and resources, and begin construction on a Death Star by 2016," the petition reads.
