Default Oops: Colbert wins space station name contest

In sci.space.policy Pat Flannery wrote:
You watch, they will try to weasel out of this somehow, claiming
there is some sort of rule about naming a module after a living
person. This is when Colbert will decide that the module should
really be named after his hero - Rush Limbaugh - and his little .38
caliber "significant other" - "Sweetness" will come into play. He's
going to have a field day with all this. :-D :-D

NASA might name toilet for Stephen Colbert
Space agency doesn't want to flush away good will following online
poll

NASA may consider putting Stephen Colbert's name on a space
toilet, after the comedian came out on top of the U.S. space
agency's online naming poll for a new space module.
