I think this is perfect for Dubya, to reap what he's sown. Only I hope someday all the waste he's created will, in fact, be cleaned up and that we can forget about his disastrous presidency. It's going to take a long time before the stench of corruption clears. The saddest thing is, the smell of sewage is nothing compared to the stench of death - almost 4,000 servicemen and women, perhaps as many as a million Iraqis, not to mention all the Afghans, Pakistanis, and of course the men who have been tortured to death at Bagram and Guantanamo, and at other, secret, prisons. People are laughing about this article but there is nothing funny about Bush's tragic presidency.

Not bad. To make the concept complete, never run the thing. See, it was promised funding like the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and this war thing just got in the way, and well . . . .

A treatment plant that puts out clean water is the exact opposite of the message that such an opportunity presents. A dump site would be a better choice.

"There's no use other than to make these nutcases feel good," he told the Chronicle."

San Franciso's Chairman of the Republican Party

That's right, clown ass. There is nothing else right now that would make ANY of us feel good - except for when Bush and his creeps walk out the door in January 2009.

Actually, as a symbolic gesture, we should all flush our toilets at 12:00 noon Inauguration Day no matter who wins in November.

I find this pretty pathetic. Is this the only way that we can fight against Bush is by naming sewage plants after him? And here the Senate is ready to give me the power and authority to spy on all of us anytime they want. No wonder Bush wins so many battles. He goes after the real power while his opponents are busy thinking of lame jokes about him.

Even a "shit plant" is too competent to be named after our 43rd president. But I do agree - when you're in the business of managing waste and keeping the environment clean as possible, George W. Bush doesn't deserve to have his name any where near it. Maybe a brand of port-o-potties named, "dubya" with Bush's face as some sort of target...

That's fitting!

Hey why "diss" good,honest sewage with the onerous Bush appelation!

A sewage treatment plant? Nah.

Let them turn Gitmo into a museum memorializing presidential crimes, and name that after him.

Failing that, name a slaughterhouse after him.

Better still, name a cell block after him and stick him in it.

It is fitting that 20 years from now parents can explain to their children that their "pee pee and poopy" is taken care of by someone who used to be the President of The United States.

But expand the name to "The Wide Stance and Bush Memorial Shit Processing Facility" it has a certain "ring" to it.

There was a serious effort to carve Regan's head on Mount Rushmore.

This story brings back memories from my time living in D.C. during the reign of Tricky Dick. A construction project was beginning on the Mall, not far from the White House. As often happens, the first step was to bulldoze all the unwanted material on the site into a big pile to be trucked away.

In the dark of night, someone placed a large "Nixon Memorial" sign atop the pile of trash. The sign was gone by the end of the morning rush hour.

would be taking "W" and naming it for something similar to "santorum." It's actually even more appropriate in W's case.

P.S. For those of you who don't know what santorum is, I won't go into it. Just let me say it's not pretty.

"There's no use other than to make these nutcases feel good," he told the Chronicle.

Which is why we have an aiport named after Reagan.

It wasn't already named after Reagan?

'Howard Epstein is not amused, calling the ballot measure an abuse of the system and "loony bin direct democracy": "There's no use other than to make these nutcases feel good," he told the Chronicle.'

Yeah, that's how I feel about National Airport (and a million other places).

And, I'm not sure the sewage treatment plant naming is fair or accurate: the plant cleans contaminated water, whereas everything W touches turns to shit. How about naming some especially virulent strain of bacteria or an invasive rodent species?

been dedicating my daily donations to the local sewage treatment plant in honor of GW.

I agree that naming the plant after him would be more than he deserves.

My long-time idea for a Bush Memorial would be a hole in the ground. And people can come from all over the country (and the world) and pay $10 urinate into it. (People from Iraq get to go for free.) Should be able to raise enough money from that to pay for a presidential library to keep Monkey Boy's Comic Books (although keeping order in the incredibly long lines of people who need to go might require highly paid professional help).

It reminds me of the old Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard joke (which none of the people in this administration know, since they've never done that sort of thing) and it goes like this:

The Noncom in charge says to the Private:

"I'll bet when I'm dead, you'll piss on my grave."

To which the Private says:

"No sergeant, once I'm a civilian, I'm never going to wait in a long line again."

Ba-dum DUM!!

Not to get pissy, but isn't this better described as a tempest in a chamber-pot.

A ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Hoo.

t.

... it's because it's so much fun to see them NOT get the joke at all. Many years ago, I came to see a (generally) basic dynamic of politics:

1) In every group, there always one person who doesn't get the joke.(That doesn't include mean-spirited derisive laughter about something incredibly stupid and nasty being said about the people on the other side.)

2) That person goes into politics (or some affiliated field where people take themselves too seriously to breathe, like Serial Killing).

Regarding the Bush Prez Memorial Water Treatment Plant, your article stated:

But the chairman of the San Francisco Republican Party, Howard Epstein is not amused, calling the ballot measure an abuse of the system and "loony bin direct democracy": "There's no use other than to make these nutcases feel good," he told the Chronicle. "It's typical San Francisco crazies."

HEY - EPSTEIN -- get a sense of humor transplant -- as it is, you're just one more embarrassment to those of us who, as Jews, do NOT want to be lumped in with the likes of you (or, for example, Joey Lieberman) and have people say "So THAT'S what Jews are like."
