Uh, Mem, have you actually looked at the signatures?

Submitted for your consideration: it's a joke.

So far, there are 3 signatures: #1 is the "author" of the petition, #2 
is a joke name, and #3 is a Mr. (or Ms.) fsdf, who's heartfelt comment 
"asdfasdfa" pretty much says it all.

During my last trip to the UK, I was startled to discover that "Merkin 
bashing" seemed very much in vogue.  What startled me, however, was not 
the fact that criticism was being levelled at the US, but rather the 
silly, misrepresented, and sometimes fictional objects of that 
criticism.  I found myself a little disappointed by this, because there 
are so many legitimate criticisms to be made regarding the US without 
making shit up.

Although I must admit, "Elite Republican Party" does hold a certain 
sublime appeal for me . . .
