ISS's Node 3 Might Be Named "Colbert"

Panzor writes "NASA is running a contest to name the new addition to the space station, Node 3. The polls are open until March 20. The selection that is getting the most votes is 'Suggest your own,' and the leading name besides the official four (Earthrise, Legacy, Serenity, and Venture) is 'Colbert.' Comedian Stephen Colbert suggested on the air that fans write in his name. On March 5th, his vote count passed that of Xenu and Colbert pronounced himself Scientology's 'Galactic Overlord.'"

    Colbert and his show is one big satire on the right-wing and the pompous right-wind media.

    Is this a typo, a Freudian slip, or intentional satire? Because if it is the latter, then it is brilliant!

    Gotta love republicans. Even though there useless president had lost the respect of half the planet, almost bankrupt the entire nation with a pointless war that only benefited his own families oil empire and lost for the first ever time in a case at the WTO they still forecasting that the guy who has to pick up the pieces will fail when he only been in office for 1 month.

    With an ability to make snap judgements like that its no wonder Bush invaded the wrong country after 9-11.
