Ground Control to Stephen Colbert

He's already had an ice cream flavor and a hockey team mascot named after him (among other things), now the host of The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert, is shooting for the stars and trying to get a section of the international space station named after him.

Colbert has a remarkable ability to create controversy, the best example being his speech at the 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner. With the exception of the aforementioned, all his controversy doesn't seem to be very controversial. It's as if, with the exception of the previous administration and their acolytes, everyone gets the joke.

In all likelihood, this will lead to nothing since the small print of NASA's web site says that they have the right to overturn the voting results. But we can dream.

I just wonder if the section he's trying to get named after himself is, in fact, the toilet facilities. That would be irony at its finest.
