Juggle!

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to stand on his head and juggle ice-cream.

(via Craig Murray).

Is this (the facility, that is, rather than this petition) an attempt to reduce petitioning to a game, and therefore remove any sting it might have had?

Is it likely that you could get any media coverage for the deadline passing on a petition on the PM's official web site, for example?

The vanity press, now free

It seems the bottom just fell out of the vanity publishing market. There is now a print on demand service which charges no up front fee: lulu.com.
