In my hometown of Houston, George Bush Senior has an international airport named after him (the original name — “Intercontinental” was just fine) but in my adopted hometown of San Francisco, my fellow Friscans have come up with a particular honor for his son, Dubya. What better a place to represent the administration of George W. Bush than a sewage treatment center:
A group called the Presidential Memorial Commission has reportedly picked up more than enough signatures to put the ballot initiative to the San Francisco public in the November election.If the measure passes, it would rename the city’s Oceanside Treatment Plant as the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.
That’s not exactly a presidential library, but sponsors of the ballot measure say it’s a fitting tribute to a president who made a big mess.
It sounds like a joke but don’t mess with San Franciscans. We vote on all kinds of “crazy” measures such as a citywide gun ban and yep, they pass (though thanks to a Supreme Court decision today, that unfortunately might not last…so much for sovereignty!). Personally, I think that sewage plant is way too pretty to bear the Bush name.
