SAN FRANCISCO — A measure seeking to commemorate President Bush's years in office by slapping his name on a San Francisco sewage plant has qualified for the November ballot.

The measure certified Thursday would rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

Supporters say the idea is to commemorate the mess they claim Bush has left behind by actions such as the war in Iraq.

Local Republicans say the plan stinks and they will oppose it.

I can think of no more fitting memorial to GW than to name a Sewage Treatment Plant after him. Sent this story to friends in Europe and everyone there thinks it is hilarious.

I agree. Bush should have his name on a sewage plant in San Francisco. What better way to remind everyone of the sewage flushed at him in 8 years by that crowd. And since he handled it, filtered it, and returned it back by being re-elected twice it is laughable. Yes it is funny, I hope he autographs it.

Just wait till this makes national news.

I'm still blaming the 53 million shithheads that voted for him in the first place.

The freak show that is San Francisco. What a bunch of kooky fruitcakes. They should get a life.

Symbolism is everything. I support the initiative to rename the sewage plant The George W. Bush Sewage Plant. Shizen runs downhill folks and if there is one true thing about W, he is running, if not falling, downhill.

Certainly the plant is well named considering it is San Francisco. The man always had to handle loads of sewage from that place anyway. It is fitting that the San Francisco community remembers that no matter what they flushed, he handled it.

Man, I'm pissed (no pun intended), but I just wrote something hilariously funny (at least I thought so) and the moderator wouldn't post it, probably because of a single 4-letter word that we all associate with the current subject and are all grown up enough to handle.

Maybe you would have been happier in Dresden...before we bombed it.

They should change the name of the whole city--ALL of San Fran is a sewer.

San Francisco is considered by the whole world to be the cultural center of the west coast.

Only wingnuts in the USA disagree, but when you consider they are the only ones in the whole world who think Bush is a good presnit, well...'nuff said.

There is so little genuine wit left in the world: may Bush's name be forever linked to sewage.

Maybe the effort in San Francisco could start a trend -- renaming sewage plants across the country for the failed president.

Wow!
How can I apply for an absentee ballot.
Will my east coast residency be a hinderance?
This is almost too good to pass up.

This is so befitting and earned. There are so many things that come to mind. This should be good for tourism. I'd be very happy to take a leak knowing it would end up going through the bowels of Strub's inner workings like he has done to this country for 8 years. The city could sell elevation maps with projected arrival times so we could savor the moment.

It also has enspred me to name the spot in my year where my dog releive tehmselves the George W. Bush Doggie Dew Memorial Squat and Dump Wildlife Area.
