Stephen Colbert, purveyor of “truthiness” on Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, has chosen a certain Klingon officer from Star Trek: The Next Generation to honor with a special national diversity award.

Though I don’t think he’s actually a United States citizen, Lieutenant Commander Worf certainly does exemplify a number of qualities we Americans respect; bravery, strength, and honor. Besides, who else fits Colbert’s other unique ethnic requirements? Take a look.

Though Worf certainly is deserving of an award, I hope the whole thing wasn’t rigged. I mean, it wasn’t long ago that a Congressman suggested that there are faux Klingons in the White House. What do you think? A little intergalactic favoritism? Stay tuned!
