It seems that in the last year of his presidency, George Bush can't win a trick. It's traditional that the Presidential Memorial Commission goes around naming things in the president's honour in his final year, but he can't even get a sewage plant named after him without major opposition.
The Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco has just recently submitted enough signatures to city 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.”
The debate seems to centre mostly around whether the naming would be appropriate because a sewage plant cleans up mess, or inappropriate because it's too useful in doing so. As one of the commission's founders Brian McConnell puts it:
"If you get to the point where people are defending the sewage plant, that’s a sign that things have not gone so well."
