Bush Sewage Plant in SFO

[The Sushi Bandit]

A group calling itself the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco this week submitted a proposal to rename a sewage treatment plant after the outgoing chief executive in recognition of the political and environmental "mess" they say will be his legacy.

Supporters submitted 12,000 signatures with San Francisco election officials, hoping to place on the ballot an initiative that would rechristen the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant as the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

"We think this is a fitting tribute to this president," said Brian McConnell, a member of the group, whose insignia shows the presidential seal with a bald eagle holding two plungers. "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."

Republicans aren't amused by the gesture. "It doesn't dignify a response," White House spokesman Trey Bohn said of the initiative.

1. I have heard about this, and I deplore it.

The chemistry and biology of waste treatment is a vital and important study, involving hard work, considerable scientific training, and hard work.

Although there is a puerile sense that this work is somehow degrading, I would like to ask anyone who does this mocking whether or not they would rather do without waste treatment facilities. Try living with an unflushed toilet for a few weeks and get back to us on this.

2. This would be appropriate only if the sewage plant dumps raw sewage

...and does nothing to that sewage

3. I think it dumps into the Karl Rove memorial...
