I know there were posts about this some time ago, but I couldn't find them, so I just started a new thread. (Sorry.) The initiative made the Nov. 4 ballot!!! Only San Franciscans can vote on it, but anyone can help promote the initiative. Read on ...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INITIATIVE TO RENAME SEWAGE PLANT IN HONOR OF PRES. BUSH QUALIFIED FOR NOV 4TH BALLOT

San Francisco (July 17th) - Officials at the Department of Elections announced today that the citizens' initiative to rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant has qualified for the November 4th San Francisco ballot. Voters will decide on the measure in the general election alongside the presidential election, numerous statewide initiatives, and an expected 20 to 30 local measures.

"We want to thank the dozens of people who volunteered to campaign throughout the city, and the thousands of San Franciscans who lined up to sign this petition to pay tribute to our President," said initiative co-author Brian McConnell. "With over 100 volunteers, we were able to run a citywide campaign with no donations, no paid signature gatherers - it was a 100% grassroots voter movement."

The Presidential Memorial Commission is planning a creative, art-driven general election campaign, and is putting out a general call for support from artists who want to design flyers, billboards and other attention-getting devices. "We're hoping for an election campaign like no other," said Mr. McConnell.

While the measure is only being presented to San Francisco voters, voters worldwide can contribute to the general election campaign by donating artwork and funds at http://www.presidentialmemorial.org

:?: Is this for real? Why give the man any attention after his time is over by naming something after him? On the other hand the connection between Bush and a sewage plant gives me a certain satisfaction 8)

It's for real, and I love the idea--I very much doubt there will be many (if any) schools or roads named after him, but a sewage plant! :lol:

This prompts an idea. For over a century, various methods have been tried to improve men's aim into urinals, including such things as an image of a fly under the porcelain's glaze or drain strainers with targets on them. How about a strainer with Dubya's face right in the middle? I know I'd be less likely to miss!

Talk about the last guy on earth. There's some guy whose job it is to think of ways to improve men's aim? Good thig men don't get pregnant. I wouldn't want to walk into the room after one tried to pee on the end of a tiny little stick.
