Democracy FAIL!

NASA announced yesterday that the space station's Node 3 will NOT me named after Stephen Colbert. After a public online vote, the name "Colbert" won by a margin of 3.3% out of a total of 1.2 million votes. NASA decided to go with the incredibly lame and generic "Tranquility" instead. Way to show the Middle East how democracy works in America! As a peace offering to the outraged members of the Colbert Nation, NASA has named the astronauts' treadmill the Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill, or C.O.L.B.E.R.T..
