An Honor That Bush Is Unlikely to Embrace

SAN FRANCISCO — Reagan has his highways. Lincoln has his memorial. Washington has the capital (and a state, too). But President Bush may soon be the sole president to have a memorial named after him that you can contribute to from the bathroom.

From the Department of Damned-With-Faint-Praise, a group going by the regal-sounding name of the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is planning to ask voters here to change the name of a prize-winning water treatment plant on the shoreline to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

The plan, naturally hatched in a bar, would place a vote on the November ballot to provide “an appropriate honor for a truly unique president.”

Excellent! And how very appropriate. This goes into effect, I may need to schedule a trip to SF just in order to make a contribution in W's name.

Funny, when the Repubs were pushing a couple of years ago to get some 'public building' named after St. Ronnie in every single county of the country, I seriously considered working to get an outhouse in one of our parks here so designated. In my liberal college town, it'd be a cinch. But then I got preoccupied with other things.

Hmm. My schedule has gotten less busy lately...

Maybe not appropriate

because modern sewage treatment plants are miracles of scientific design and intelligent management. And they clean up shit instead of spewing it all over the place. They really make the world a better place. Doesn't sound like W.

there's a design flaw...

It's already full of shit.

It's certainly more appropriate than...

The George Bush Center for Intelligence.

(Well, that was George Bush Senior, but still)
