Inside a Young Mind Excited Enough about a White House Press Release to Share It on Social Media

(Or so I imagine...)
The White House responded to the petition to build the Death Star! With Star Wars inside jokes! And even a link to a picture of the president playing with a light saber. The government is just too cool. They really get what it means to be a person in this day and age, you know? I feel like I can really talk to them, come to them with my problems, and they'll understand and help me solve them. Like a godparent. Is that what a godparent is? I've only ever seen the movie. Anyway, I'm so proud to have a government like this. Way to go, government!

Judging from the young (and not-so-young) folks I follow on Twitter, I think you nailed it.

Cool? They're practically groovy! Conservatives need to develop this kind of cutting-edge humor.

And they STILL get it wrong.
Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?
The X-Wing is a snub fighter, geniuses.

I was about to make a snark then stopped. Obama's the first Democrat since FDR to win consecutive majorities of the popular vote. A cheap laugh seems like cold comfort.Besides, didn't their nerds just whip our nerds in the NARWHAL vs. ORCA showdown?

Well, this just means that they're comfortable and familiar with fiction.

Our nerds run half-marathons and work for a living. Their nerds post on Twitter to earn collective applause.
I vote our nerds.
