And You Thought You Had No Life
Imagine being an informed activist in the San Francisco area and all you can come up with is this sort of tongue-in-cheek humor aimed at a President for whom you harbor no respect.
A California group has actually taken the time and money to circulate a petition that collected some 10,000 signatures, all for the purpose of renaming a wastewater treatment plant after George W. Bush.
Brian McConnell, one of the group's organizers said:
"We think that it's important to remember our leaders in the right historical context."If enough petition signatures qualify and the proposal passes on the ballot this fall, the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant will be renamed to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.
"In President Bush's case, we think that we will be cleaning up a substantial mess for the next 10 or 20 years. The sewage treatment facility's job is to clean up a mess, so we think it's a fitting tribute."
"What we're really doing is symbolizing the fact that as he leaves office, we'll begin the process of basically repairing damage and rebuilding our country's reputation."
And this, my friends, is what activist San Franciscans feel is a worthwhile political action. No word as of yet on how much money it will cost to place said proposal on the ballot. Who cares? California is only billions of dollars in debt.

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.
