Will Colbert get his node?
I'm so glad nothing happened in the world while I was off on maternity leave. I'm only sorry I missed the story of "The Colbert Report" fans and the beautiful prank they played on NASA: taking over the agency's contest to name a "node" on the International Space Station. NASA had suggested something goopy like "Serenity." Instead, the public voted for "Colbert." It's a feat that would make the Vote for the Worst folks proud, and Stephen Colbert, as expected, is playing it for all it's worth. (See below.) I, for one, would love to see a sign that NASA has a sense of humor. What do you think?
