What's in your ballot?

Over beers, Brian McConnell and his buddies came up with the idea to put a measure on the San Francisco ballot to rename a city sewage plant after President Bush. Ha, ha, ha.

OK, they've had their laugh, and they even gathered more than the necessary 7,168 signatures to qualify their measure for the November ballot. It's Proposition R. The question is: Do Ess Eff voters want to give San Francisco bashers yet another reason to believe this is a city run by brats?

If voters in the Special City approve Prop. R, which would rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant the "George W. Bush Sewage Plant," that vote will say more about San Francisco than it will say about Bush himself.

And don't be surprised if a small town in Texas or Alaska decides to name a dump after San Francisco sweetheart and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Or worse.

The bottom line (no pun intended): If you are one of those people who complain about the low level of discourse in American politics today, you should not support a measure sure to escalate the effluent-slinging.

But if you like toilet talk, Prop. R will guarantee buckets more of it - with a war of words that, no doubt, will end in Mutually Assured Scatology.

The city's reputation also is riding on the outcome of Proposition V, an advisory measure that, if passed, would tell the San Francisco school board to rescind a 2006 vote to terminate the highly popular Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program.

San Francisco voters should support the measure - and not simply because the school board's action re-enforced the city's well-worn image as a liberal haven intolerant of all things not unabashedly liberal.
