'The George W. Bush Sewage Plant' - "a fitting tribute"- roflmfao!!

Calif. group proposes George W. Bush Sewage Plant

http://www.examiner.com/a-1476413~Calif__group_proposes_George_W__Bush_Sewage_Plant.html

SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) -

A California group submitted a proposal Monday to rename a sewage treatment plant after President Bush, calling the initiative a fitting tribute to the outgoing chief executive and the "mess" he'll leave behind.

The Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco wants to switch the name of the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.


Supporters hoping to put the issue on the November ballot turned in more than 10,000 signatures to San Francisco election officials, organizer Brian McConnell said. The measure needs just over 7,000 valid names to qualify and McConnell expects to find out later this month whether they made it.

Proponents of the renaming plan see it as fitting tribute to a president they contend has plumbed the depths of incompetence.

"We think that it's important to remember our leaders in the right historical context," said McConnell, a member of the group that was formed after friends came up with the renaming idea.

"In President Bush's case, we think that we will be cleaning up a substantial mess for the next 10 or 20 years," he said. "The sewage treatment facility's job is to clean up a mess, so we think it's a fitting tribute."

The "mess," as supporters of the plan see it, includes the aftermath of the Iraq war and what they see as a neglect of domestic economic issues.

"What we're really doing is symbolizing the fact that as he leaves office, we'll begin the process of basically repairing damage and rebuilding our country's reputation," he said.

But others think the plan reeks. :P

The chairman of the San Francisco Republican Party has promised to fight the measure if it does make the ballot.

A call by The Associated Press to White House press officials was not returned. :P

More...

3. I think plumbing fixtures should be renamed for the Bush administration
I like the idea of doing to them what they have done to the US

The GWBJr, Cheney, Rove, Condi,....etc bathroom suites could have their images cast in the target zone

20. Well isn't it time something bearing his name does?
I agree though that an even more fitting tribute would be the GWB Memorial Superfund Site.

6. I did heard a news report
earlier today that Reptilians in Calif are pretty angry about that, too bad, but what could be more appropriate for Booo$h that a sewerage plant carrying his name.

13. I'm sure there are lots of potential ways to honor President Bush's legacy
:patriot:

Also in CA: The Museum of Hoaxes in San Diego http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/aboutmuseum.html

The Pretzel Museum in Philadephia, sadly now closed but how hard would it be to get funding from Bush's "have-mores" for a grand re-opening. It could be timed for when his reign ends and the entire country will be feeling all mopey and nostalgic and badly in need of cheering up. http://www.ushistory.org/tour/tour_pretzel.htm

Barney Smith's Toilet Seat Art Museum although it could be argued that too many poop/toilet related things might risk diluting the Bush brand. http://www.unusualmuseums.org/toilet/

Leaving behind the scatalogical, how about a botanical tribute: an appropriate renaming of the Amorphophallus Titanum (from Ancient Greek amorphos, "without form, misshapen" + phallos, "penis", and titan, "giant") in honor of our soon-to-be-ex Prez. After all, "Due to its fragrance, which is reminiscent of the smell of a decomposing mammal" this plant is also known as "Corpse Flower", or perhaps one day, the "Bush Carrion Flower". A tribute which honors the thought provokingly large plastic codpiece he donned for the stage performace Mission Accomplished, as well as his profound moral stench. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_arum

And since a likeness of his pointy little head will never be carved into Mt. Rushmore, the least they can do is name a natural wonder of the world after him. Like one of those giagantic dead spots in the ocean.

17. "stinks like Bush's Mom's armpits"
Can't decide whether to file that one away for future reference, or just go eat a bowl of Tums for this sudden bout of nausea.

Nighty night!

26. The metaphor doesn't make sense to me
Sewage, unlike war, is an inevitable byproduct of living. Recycling sewage is a GOOD thing. The current vogue for all things green makes sewage plants almost like new age churches. I understand the sentiment behind what they are doing, but when you really think about it, it is an unwarranted compliment.

29. Agreed!
Especially some of the newer experimental plants that use sewage to grow algae for biofuel and others which feed fish farms.

28. Sewage plants clean up mess -- all Bush does is create it.
We could name all hog/cow stockyards and waste ponds after him though.

What is the correct term for a hog plant waste pond anyway? A "dubya".
