A Better Way to Remember George BushPaul Hogarthbyline‚ Jun. 09‚ 2008A group of San Franciscans are collecting signatures for a November Proposition to rename a local Sewage Treatment Plant after George W. Bush – which, if passed by the voters, would take effect on January 20, 2009. Complete with an impressive website, the “Presidential Memorial Commission” believes this is the most appropriate way for San Francisco to remember George Bush’s legacy. But as much as I hate our sorry excuse for a President, I strongly oppose this idea -- because it is terribly unfair to sewage treatment plants. Instead, like I proposed a year ago, San Francisco should change the name of Bush Street. And to sweeten the deal, we should change it to Obama Street – and have it go into effect on January 20, 2009. |
