My thoughts on…the George W. Bush sewage plant
July 4th 2008 -
This cracked me up when I read it. Apparently a group of San Franciscans called the Presidential Memorial Commission are out to rename a local sewage plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant. You’d think that this would never get too far, but they got 8,500 signatures, 1,300 more than the 7,168 they need to put the ballot initiative to the San Francisco public in the November election, and the city/government is partially supporting it. Makes sense though. He did make a huge mess of things. But damn! I never knew Americans hated him so much. Sure he created a mock war for which scores of patriotic soldiers and countless civilians died and will continue to die for in a ruthless quest for oil and deceived America and the world in order to accomplish said task, but that doesn’t make him a bad guy right?
Virginia-born activist and ordained minister John Rinaldi, a co-sponsor of the petition and unsuccessful mayoral candidate who ran last year under his nickname “Chicken John,” said the initiative would turn “every toilet in San Francisco into basically a shrine for George W. Bush and all his great achievements in his eight years as our commander in chief.” And to add insult to injury, activists of the Presidential Memorial Commission are asking supports to join in a “synchronized flush” - a possible salute to America’s greatest president. (Yeah. I’m tying to hold back the laughter too.)
Chances are it’ll be adopted, as it only takes a 50 percent plus 1 majority to pass it, and President Bush’s last approval rating showed that 70% of Americans disapprove of his work. “In 50 years from now, we want people to see George Bush’s name on that plant, and ask each other what went wrong,” said Brian McConnell, the Memorial Commission’s organiser. “We want them to be reminded of the Iraq war, and his other dramatic mistakes, and this is the perfect way to do it. “Lincoln has his memorial, Washington has his monument, and Bush’s gonna have a load of sh*t. I think a sewage plant is too good for Bush, as it serves a vital (though not so glamorous) purpose. I think they should take this one step further, and have a George W. Bush Public Toilet. What do you think?
P.S. Happy 4th of July America!

Interestingly enough, my father felt the same way about Michael Manley. He felt that “Menlie” was a little shit!
He eventually hung a toilet seat upon the wall of his study, much as one would hang a picture on the wall.
Whenever anyone would ask, “Why have you hung that toilet seat on the wall like that?”, he would lift the cover of the seat so that they could see the picture of Michael Manley neatly framed within.

This is immoral in so many ways I can not count. So liberal California wants to alienate the conservative half of the country. We guarantee to boycott all products bought and sold through California. We will also target all businesses that have their headquarters in California. This will be our tribute to California. There are 49 other states that will love to have our money.
