In a move to ensure that the legacy of George W. Bush does not go unnoticed in the anuses - um - annals of History, a handful of visionary residents in San Francisco are seeking to place a measure on the election ballot with the specific aim of re-naming a sewage plant in the President's honor.
The "Presidential Memorial Commission" has submitted a proposal to change the name of the - "Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant" - to the morally correct - "George W. Bush Sewage Plant".
A handful of the members feel it is a fitting tribute to a President who has created a political and environmental "mess" during his eight-year term in office.
The groups insignia - which consists of the Presidential Seal and a bald eagle holding two plungers - says it all in the estimation of its members.
"It's fair to say that we're going to be cleaning up a substantial mess over the next decade or more thanks to Bush. Environmental degradation. A war in Iraq that cost $1 trillion plus. It's going to be a big job," member Brian McConnell lamented to well-wishers.
Understandably, the White House has not responded.
"It doesn't dignify a response," White House spokesman Trey Bohn said of the initiative.
Supporters submitted twelve thousand signatures to San Francisco election officials, hoping to place the initiative on the ballot, with the specific goal of renaming the sewage treatment facility after the jaunty Texan lightweight.
Some feel the idea is ludicrous and a waste of money.
Others argue that the action is a part of the long tradition of political satire aimed at provoking a discussion; in this instant case, to spark a meaningful dialogue about the Bush Administration's shortcomings in the environmental arena.
Suzanne Gautier, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, exercised some diplomacy when asked her opinion about the renaming of the treatment plant.
Although many would be honored to have their facility named after the President, Ms. Gautier stated for the record that she - for one - was comfortable with the current designation.
I guess you have to read between the lines...
The name of George W. Bush over the doorway would only stink up the name and reputation of the treatment facility.
Heh, things are pretty bad when a sh**-house cleansing facility doesn't even want 'ya!
Sewage under the Bridge for George W. Bush Presidency...
