Sewer Plant Update

The San Francisco Presidential Memorial Commission is moving along with its plan to change the name of something called the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant to the George W. Bush Sewage Treatment Plant. They’ve collected more than enough signatures to get the issue on the ballot this fall and the organizers say that their biggest opposition is people who don’t want anything named after this president. The head of the Republicans in the area is committed to defeating the initiative. It’s worth remembering, however, that San Franciscans already voted in favor of impeaching the President and Vice President, so this may just be a small addendum to that project. All the details here.

If only we had a sewage treatment plant, Point Roberts could consider signing up as a kind of sister city to S.F. on this issue.

I would vote against it because it is a rotten thing to do to the employees of the sewage plant. This is the kind of joke that gets old after awhile, and some would have to live with it for decades.

I'd prefer a statue. One could use the same theme. Perhaps George sitting astride the porcelain throne, pants around ankles, chin pressed into palm. The name of the statue would be "The Decider."

The problem with naming something after George is coming up with an entity with the requisite degree of evil. The George Bush Institute for the Criminally Insane would be closer to the mark. Or the George Bush Memorial Electric Chair.
