"a Death Star isn't on the horizon"

Politics The White House's official response to the petition requesting the building a Death Star is poigniant, hilarious:

"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?"

If I thought our government could be this funny, I'd start a pointless petition about building a TARDIS today.
