"George W. Bush Sewage Plant" Initiative on SF Ballot This Fall
San Francisco has been at the forefront of progressive social change and environmental issues, and now, it might be where a sewage plant is named after George W. Bush. After first floating the idea back in March, organizers qualified to put the naming initiative, to turn the Oceanside Water Treatment Facility into the GWB Sewage Plant, on the November ballot. A few weeks ago, White House Press secretary Dana Perino refused to comment on the possibility a sewage plant would be named after her boss, but maybe she would have been more willing, had she known Bush would refer to the U.S. as the "world's biggest polluter." More details here.

I don't think that's appropriate. Sewage plants are useful, work consistently and are helpful to the country.

Yes, Polite New Yorker, but they're also full of shit.

This is a good idea. Perhaps we can get the city to rename the North River Wastewater Treatment Plant after Charlie Rangel.

If I were GWB, I'd call their bluff and attend the dedication ceremony.
The Oliver Stone Bush movie is supposed to open before he leaves office. Again if I were W, I'd write Stone for an invitation for opening night. Let Bush walk the red carpet and see if anyone boos him.

It's sad the left can only get Bush back with naming a sewage plant after him.
On starting a war on half-truths, torturing, spying on us, dragging the good name of the US down, Hurricane Katrina, Guantanamo, deleting emails, outing a CIA agent and surely much more we have never heard about - the left are completely inept.

When in San Fran, you'll want to wipe with extra sheets: the Bush Sewage Plant is archiving his papers.

America has lost it's collective mind owing to a rampaging dollar-hungry mass media!
Respect for all things American is waning.

They should paint a picture of his face in an area where sewage would be coming out of his mouth.
On a side note, I'm surprised no one on here complained that this has nothing to do with NYC.

Aww, those 28 percenters and erielhonan must have mega-insurance coverage considering their prolific use of the GOP's Wah Wah-amublance!
As much as I enjoyed signing the petition I would probably prefer that GW's name and photo-op record were ceremoniously scraped from mankind's memory as did the ancient Egyptians did to their scorned and scandalized pharoahs.
Of course ... they can't comprehend such deeds in mankind's history for the simple reason the GOP base voters deem education and learning the work of horned super natural creatures.
