A sewage treatment plant

performs very needed and valuble functions. And performs them well. Kind of a shame to sully their reputations by association.

True.

Maybe they should have a vote in New York to rename Love Canal?

don't worry,

they'll redact the important parts of the plant, making it suitably non-functional.  

will they name the cesspool Georgie Bay?

Don't forget to use your Bush paper

Ah yes.  Whenever I go to San Francisco, I will be sure to eat plent of good food so I can find a need to donate to what will be more useful than a presidential library with nothing more than coloring books.

Living in SF

Living here, I can tell you that these people mean business!  They are everywhere signing people up and it's become one of those unique San Francisco things that make this city quirky and great!

I would be very suprised if it didn't get on the ballot.  It's a movement.  It's hillarious.  It's completely fitting.  Activism doesn't always have to be so cerebral.

Here's the real poop...that is how they do it out here in the West.

This in SFGate is appropriately descriptive I believe.

(06-23) 18:49 PDT -- If you've attended an event or festival in San Francisco lately - or even just hung out at a city park - you've probably seen them.
Admittedly, they're hard to miss. Someone in the group is usually toting a large American flag, and another is often carrying a boom box blaring patriotic music. Sometimes one of them dresses up as Uncle Sam.
They're the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco, but don't let the serious name fool you. The group's intentions are in the gutter: They want to rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant come January, when the next president is sworn in.
During the inauguration, the group also wants supporters to participate in a "synchronized flush"- a way to send a gift to the renamed plant, which supporters say, would be a "fitting monument to this president's work."It sounds like a harmless joke, or maybe a college civics lesson gone awry. But the handful of friends who dreamed this up over beers one night say they have already collected 8,500 signatures in support of the plan - 1,300 more than the minimum needed to put the question to city voters in November. When they submit the signatures in July, election workers will have to verify that at least 7,168 are from registered city voters for the measure to qualify for the ballot.Still, most people approached on a recent Sunday seemed open to the idea, even if they all didn't stop to sign the petition.
Bright Winn, a San Francisco plumber, enthusiastically gave his signature to the cause.
"(Bush) has always done well for the affluent of America, and anyone that does well for the affluent should be named for the effluent," he said.Organizers of the petition drive believe the measure will pass, noting that 2006's Proposition J calling for the impeachment of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney passed with 58 percent of the vote.

I actually would appreciate the renaming particularly since I grew up In Oceanside and resent the plant currently being named after my town.

Yep its just How the West was Won.

It's the Hammer of JUSTICE,
It's the Bell of FREEDOM,
It's the Song about LOVE between,
my Brothers and my Sisters
...All over this Land.

I think this is a fitting and most appropriate memorial

Although I have to admit, I can see Kathleen's objections.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même merde.

AWESOME IDEA!

As the Shittiest "President" ever it seems apropos to have a Sewage Plant named after him.  Afterall, you can't have a Presidential Library with nothing but Coloring & Pop-Up books.

How about the GWB landfill

if the sewage plant name goes to someone else?

One problem

Shouldn't it be a sewage treatment plant that works in reverse to carry his name?

Imagine the headline

...if the plant breaks down and the effluent backs up. They'll just have to have a headline

"George W Bush is full of ....."
