Putting A Name On Poop
SAN FRANCISCO -- Reagan has his highways. Lincoln has his memorial. Washington has the capital (and a state, too). But President Bush may soon be the sole president to have a memorial named after him that you can contribute to from the bathroom.
From the Department of Damned-With-Faint-Praise, a group going by the regal-sounding name of the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is planning to ask voters here to change the name of a prize-winning water treatment plant on the shoreline to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.
And really, what could be more appropriate? A celebration of the man with each release of bodily fluids.
Like so many worthwhile ideas, the idea was formulated in appropriate surroundings.
The plan, naturally hatched in a bar, would place a vote on the November ballot to provide "an appropriate honor for a truly unique president."
Naturally, San Francisco Republicans (all 2 of them) are not pleased.
...Howard Epstein, chairman of the ever-outnumbered San Francisco Republican Party, called the initiative "an abuse of process."
"You got a bunch of guys drunk who came up with an idea," Mr. Epstein said, "and want to put on the ballot as a big joke without regard to the city's governance or cost."
Yeah, putting up a new sign could probably bring the city to a near-bankrupt state.
