Bush Best Remembered as Raw Sewage

I would have put this in the humour section except that they are likely to really do this thing.

Some presidents get carved into Mt Rushmore; others have airports, motorways, and even entire cities named in their honour. But when George Bush leaves office, his most visible memorial may be a mouldering patch of human effluent.

In November, alongside casting their ballot for the next president, the people of San Francisco will also vote on a measure to rename one of the city's largest sewage works the George W Bush Sewage Plant, to provide a "fitting monument" to the outgoing commander-in-chief's achievements...

It may sound like a student prank, but the proposal is almost certain to be passed. Democrats usually secure between 70 and 80 per cent of the vote in San Francisco – and in 2006 passed a proposition to impeach Mr Bush and his Vice-President Dick Cheney by a majority of almost two to one.

"In 50 years from now, we want people to see George Bush's name on that plant, and ask each other what went wrong," said Brian McConnell, the Memorial Commission's organiser. "We want them to be reminded of the Iraq war, and his other dramatic mistakes, and this is the perfect way to do it."

This does not belong in the humor section. This is just good factual news reporting. I hope this gets a lot of exposure in the MSM, and I hope other towns follow so that every shit bin in the nation gets the Bush moniker.

I would name my septic tank after him but no one would care.

Gee thanks guys!!!

I make my living working in waste water treatment plants (WWTP) and the though of spending the next 25 years of my life going from one GWB-WWTP to the next is more than I can stand. WWTP are engineered to protect the environment-not a very GWB thing to do.

Believe me I can find some real "special spots" in a WWTP to hang the sign.
