No, it's 102,615.
It's adding 100 to 200 signatures per minute.
102,720

I just checked and it's now at 107,564.
So they have added 5,000 more in less than an hour.
When I signed earlier today it was under 50,000.

It'll probably be 124,000 by the time I finish typing this.
I wonder what the WH response will be.

A reliable Republican op ed writer at the Post takes Sen. Tom 'Dumber Than a Box of Rocks' Cotton to the woodshed and she ain't just whistlin' Dixie.

From letters to the editor in the WaPo:
"TEHRAN (The Borowitz Report)—Stating that “their continuing hostilities are a threat to world peace,” Iran has offered to mediate talks between congressional Republicans and President Obama.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, made the offer one day after Iran received what he called a “worrisome letter” from Republican leaders, which suggested to him that “the relationship between Republicans and Obama has deteriorated dangerously.”
“Tensions between these two historic enemies have been high in recent years, but we believe they are now at a boiling point,” Khamenei said. “As a result, Iran feels it must offer itself as a peacemaker.”
He said that his nation was the “logical choice” to jumpstart negotiations between Obama and the Republicans because “it has become clear that both sides currently talk more to Iran than to each other.”
He invited Obama and the Republicans to meet in Tehran to hash out their differences and called on world powers to force the two bitter foes to the bargaining table, adding, “It is time to stop the madness.”
Hours after Iran made its offer, President Obama said that he was willing to meet with his congressional adversaries under the auspices of Tehran, but questioned whether “any deal reached with Republicans is worth the paper it’s written on.”
For their part, the Republicans said they would only agree to talks if there were no preconditions, such as recognizing President Obama’s existence."

Delicious! Cool that we can at least get artful satire out of this mess....
