San Francisco voters will be asked to decide whether to name a city sewage plant in honor of President Bush, after a satiric measure qualified for the November ballot today.
Backers of the measure, who for several months circulated a petition to place the measure on the ballot, turned in more than 12,000 signatures on July 7, said organizer Brian McConnell. The Department of Elections today informed those supporters, the self-proclaimed Presidential Memorial Commission, that they had enough valid signatures - a minimum of 7,168 registered San Francisco voters - to qualify for the November ballot, he said.
McConnell, who came up with the idea over beers with friends, often donned an Uncle Sam outfit to drum up support for the petition. Other signature gatherers - all volunteers - often carried around an American flag and blasted patriotic music from a boom box to attract attention. He said today that the campaign to pass the measure will be an equally grassroots effort.
The measure, if passed by a majority of voters, would rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

Make sure they put right next to the Bill “BJ” Clinton wind tunnel...
Or the Barney Frank AIDS Clinic....
What a childish bunch of misfits the left is.
Perhaps Nevada could name a brothel after Pres. Clinton?
I propose they name the SFPD range after Dan White.
"Huh huh. Bush is poop."
Exactly.
bttt
I think it’s up to us to find another location in the country to name/rename an effluent holding tank or basin to The “Best of San Francisco” - they certainly deserve it.
W should show up at the opening, take the micrphone, let out a huge fart, grin ear to ear, then ride off into the sunset, shooting the bird.
Its time for the Federal Government to cut all funding in San Francisco.Well Past time.
Let the Communist take care of themselves.
The stuff that is processed there is also known as “Nancy Pelosi’s Brains”
Might be an honor in disguise...a sewage treatment plant makes useless water useful again. At least the presidents name is associated with a useful function. Now the libs there are just the utter and untreatable sewage upon the land so we bestow that dishonor to them! I’ll say a little prayer and flush twice next time I visit the crapper throne in SF to salute the libs!
How about the John Kennedy Memorial Methadone Clinic?
The Obama House for Cocaine Addiction Recovery.
The Ted Kennedy School of Aquatics?
The John F. Kennedy Jr School of Flying.
A good conservative speechwriter could have fun writing Bush’s response to this “honor.”
Seems like the State of Calinfornia should be named for George Bush.
