God, I love being a San Franciscan… I can’t think of a more appropriate dedication for this administration.
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.
Activists from the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco, a mischievously-named group behind the move, will ask supporters to participate in a “synchroni(z)ed flush”.
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 organi(z)er. “We want them to be reminded of the Iraq war, and his other dramatic mistakes, and this is the perfect way to do it.”
No Trackbacks To “San Francisco Wants To Name Public Works After George W. Bush“
First.
And a brilliant idea in SF!
Old news but I hope they can do it.
WHAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
I think they should name it the Nancey Pelosi sewage plant.
It will be a source of inspiration to all future republicans.
I think I’d wait until the plant malfunctions, and shit covers the streets. Then, naming it for Bush would be perfect.
The facility has too noble a purpose to asscociate it with Bush’s name.
Any chance we could relocate the Bush 43 library there too?
as dumb as bush is he’ll probably show up for the dedication ceremony.
The only down side: In 50 years, the last thing I want is to be reminded of that worthless chimpanzee.
I never comment here, but as a native San Franciscan I’ve got to give a tip o’ the hat to whoever is involved in this.
A most excellent, fitting, and hilarious idea.
This is classic; wastewater treatment facilities are improving and protecting our environment from the waste that we all produce and discharge our nations waters. To name a facility in humor after President Bush is an insult to all the great public servants that are trying to make our environment not only better for us but our children. Shame on those who would even consider such a thing. What President Bush has done to EPA and our the environmental laws that are suppose to protect us is a crime.
San Francisco…classy as always…..
I leeeeeffft my faaaaaaarrrrt in Saaaaan Fraaaaaanciiiiiissssscccooo!
Beautiful. Good Job, City by the Bay.
As much as I like this idea, a sewage plant has a useful purpose in cleaning up crap, something Bush has only succeeded in creating. A better thing would have been a garbage dump as it is full of cover-ups.
WHY NO MAJOR FISA POST? IS THIS AN ANTI-AMERICAN BLOG?
Nicole Belle: Is the scroll wheel on your mouse broken? Look down the page.
Funny, but ultimately pointless.
Quite the opposite, George Bush turns anything palatable into shit.
I have just the appropriate paraphernalia:

“I can’t think of a more appropriate dedication for this administration.”
I can. Name a mortuary after him. Or a landfill.
Brilliant and funny, I heard this on the Daily Show a while back. If only they could “cement” him into the building somewhere.
Maybe the idea will take hold and spread across this great nation. I feel a movement coming on …
They should name the waste matter after Karl Rove.
I heard about this, and I love it!
Naming a shit factory after a shit president.
When I crap, I always refer to it as “taking a Bush”.
Naming this plant after King George would be an insult to Gutter Scum!
Can’t wait to see the plant’s new letterhead.
I love it!

the logo should be a TurdBlossom
I can just hear SF conversation in a few years.
*sniff* chuck do you smell that?
yeah larry the Bush must be backed up again.
HOLY CRAP, is what I say. :-D
That is hilarious, and I wish we could rename all shit factories “The Bush Treatment Plant”
Especially that really REALLY rank one in Jersey right off the highway, that makes the whole area smell like refuse… yeah, I like it!
Pelosi should definitely share the honors. If she’d allowed impeachment on the table, she could have kept the honor to herself for at least attempting to flush the filthy shit. But no. She’s also gone from simply not stopping him to abetting him, enabling him, actively, so maybe they should name some graveyards after her too.
dothehop @ 15:
Or perhaps a nuk-u-ler waste storage facility. W’s messes are gonna take a long, long time to clean up.
I think we should instead name the worst superfund site after Bush.
“In 50 years from now, we want people to see George Bush’s name on that plant, and ask each other what went wrong,”
Considering that our great great grandchildren will still be paying off the debt he ran up in order to give tax cuts to Dick Cheney, I don’t think there’s any doubt people will be asking what went wrong 50 years from now, or (best McCain voice) ‘maybe a hundred.’

Damn! I just moved away last month after living there for 15 years. I would love to be able to vote in favor of this! There are so many things I will miss about that city…

LMFAO!!! Awsome.
No sh*t?
Brilliant.

Good, then he can be pushed in and be ‘treated’ like the utter ‘waste’ he really is.

For the record, despite my small pissant donation to the Obama fund, FISA was strike two for me as far as my vote is concerned. One more and he won’t get it. Of course in the long run it won’t matter. If McCain is truly part of the R party (rapeuallican party), they’ll rig the elections anyway.
The George W Bush Memorial Shithouse would have been more appropriate; but I’m cool with Sewage Plant.
Considering how well public works and cleanups went in New Orleans and Iraq, the last thing I’d want to associate with Bush is a hard-working wastewater treatment facility.
Now, an untouched toxic waste site that’s going to take decades to clean up, that I could see. Or maybe the Hanford site where liquid radioactive waste is leaching into the groundwater next to the Columbia River….
Pericles @ 42:
don’t forget to wipe your cheney
Where exactly is this plant located?
We may be travelling through the LA/San Fran. area at the end
of the year and a visit to this pace should be added to the itinerary.
Hearst Castle, Big Sur, Yosemite, Golden Gate Bridge , Napa Valley
and the “George Bush Sewage Treatment Plant”.
SCHRODINGER’S CAT @ 47:
When your in Big Sur, Go to either Deetjens or Ventana. Ventana is my fave. Great food, great wine selection. and clothing optional community hot tubs.
SCHRODINGER’S CAT @ 47:
No “My Vacation” slide show would be complete without a shot of your grinning mug posing next to the treatment plants new sign!
On a more serious not, they’re going to get a lot of prank calls.
This reminds me of when they changed the name of National Airport to Reagan National. We still call it National.
I think this is a “movement” that should “go” nationwide…
mudshark @ 48:
OH, carry extra gas when going thru Big Sur. They gouge you down there pretty bad. 7 bucks a gallon.
God Bless SF!!!!
I had to go off topic since you guys don’t seem to want to talk about it. I would love to know how you feel about all this.>
HOW APPROPRIATE< WTG< SAN FRAN!!
How about calling one of the buildings “Dubya’s Dumper” and another one “Pelosi Pissoir?” A third building could be christened “The Reid Recepticle.”
mudshark @ 52:
Thanks for the travel tips.
And ” Exotic Blue Lensman @ #49″
I expect to see a line up for picures in front of that sign.
you mean, every time someone flushes (or pulls the cheney) in san francisco, they’ll get to say “take that george bush!”?
sounds very cathartic

Anti American? I doubt it. They’re probably waiting until a lot of people calm down about the outcome. I think I need a few hours or I’ll say
