Death Star on Kickstarter After White House Shoots Down Petition

The Death Star, undoubtedly a worthwhile undertaking but not on the Obama administration’s radar, is now on Kickstarter if you want to help build one. A recent White House Death Star petition was denied, citing Obama’s “we don’t blow up planets” political stance and the potential fiscal nightmare. Now, a new Kickstarter project wants to pick up those plans, using an open source design effort and trying to raise funding to help make it happen. A LOT of funding. The project has a $30,000,000 funding goal, which would be used to create “more detailed plans” than the initial design the team currently has . Yes … 30 million just to design the thing. No one said it would be easy, or that the potential defense system is without flaws. As we know, a single X-Wing fighter can basically defeat the thing. If the Kickstarter project reaches its long-term goal – $850,000,000,000,000,000 – plans will actually be put to use building a full-scale, working Death Star. They hope to have the project up and running by December 2015. No word on whether it would be used to protect the whole world or just the U.S. Something for sexy beast Kim Jong Un to ponder before his next failed missile test or scary / cheaply produced anti-American North Korea video .

Quote Of The Day: Detroit Councilwoman Tells President Obama “We Voted For You… Now Bail Us Out!!!” As City Heads Toward Bankruptcy

Does Barack Obama owe the City of Detroit a bailout? One city councilwoman seems to think so. Via MyFoxDetroit : The city of Detroit faces a major financial crisis and one member of city council thinks President Barack Obama should step in and help. City Council member JoAnn Watson said Tuesday the citizens support of Obama in last month’s election was enough reason for the president to bailout the struggling the city. “Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president and there ought to be a quid pro quo and you ought to exercise leadership on that,” said Watson. “Of course, not just that, but why not?” Nearly 75 percent of Wayne County voters pulled the lever for Obama in November. “After the election of Jimmy Carter, the honorable Coleman Alexander Young, he went to Washington, D.C. He came home with some bacon,” said Watson. “That’s what you do.” Young served as Detroit’s mayor for 20 years and served as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1977 to 1981. The White House has expressed no plans to bailout the cash-crunched city that some experts say could run out of money by the end of the year. The federal government has bailed out cities in the past, however. In 1975, President Gerald Ford extended more than $2 billion in credit to New York City to help it avoid a financial collapse. What do you think President Obama should do? If he bails out Detroit, where does it end?

**Update** Man Who Pushed NYC Subway Passenger To His Death Has Been Found And Charged With Murder

Man Who Pushed NYC Subway Passenger To His Death Charged With Murder A NYC man who pushed another passenger onto the subway tracks during a heated argument earlier this week has been charged with murder after the fallen passenger died as a result of his injuries. via  ABC News A New York City man was charged today with murder for shoving another man onto subway tracks where he was struck and killed by an oncoming train. Naeem Davis, 30, was charged after being questioned by police since Tuesday about the death of Ki-Suck Han, 58, of Queens, N.Y. Two sources involved in Davis’ arrest and charging say there is a question whether he intended to kill Han or whether his death was an unintended consequence of an altercation. Davis admitted to police while explaining the incident that he shoved Han in a way that caused him to fall onto the subway tracks, according to multiple sources involved with the investigation. Han struggled to pull himself up from the shoulder-high track bed and back onto the platform at the 49th Street and Seventh Avenue station around 12:30 p.m. on Monday, but was hit and killed by a Q train when it barrelled into the station. This just goes to show that it’s often better to just walk away from an argument….you never know when the other person will spaz the fawk out and do something crazy. SMH.

Elsewhere In The World: Freakazoid Chinese Man Sentenced To Death After Cops Find Slave Cave Under His Crib!

The Chinese government doesn’t play when it comes to the death penalty… According to the International Business Times , this lunatic had six women imprisoned, and cops only found out about his dungeon after one of his victims escaped! A man has been sentenced to death in China for keeping six women in a dungeon as slaves and then murdering two of them. Li Hao, 35, was found guilty of murder, assault, organized prostitution, illegal detention, and spreading adult films for profit. He was given the death penalty at the Luoyan Luoyang Intermediate People’s Court in Henan Province, Xinhua news agency has said. The court heard how Li had dug the dungeon himself under a basement he had bought in Luoyang in 2009. He would trick the women into going there and then kept them prisoner, the court said. The six women had been imprisoned for between two and 21 months. Li repeatedly assaulted the women, forced them to have intercourse with customers, and made them appear in obscene web shows. His motive, police said, was to make money by forcing the women into prostitution and appear in his shows. Two of the women were killed while they were kept in the dungeon. Three more of Li’s prisoners were also found guilty of murder; in one case Li had instructed the women to kill. The court allowed the women leniency for committing these crimes as they took place under extreme circumstances – one received a three year jail sentence and the other two were put on probation. Li’s dungeon was discovered after one of his victims escaped and reported her captor to the police. Prior to his imprisonment, Li had been a clerk for Luoyang’s technological supervision bureau. He was married and had an eight-month-old baby when he was arrested last year. He’s got some pretty twisted skeletons in his closet. Images via tumblr
