Who Would You Name Your Local Sewage Plant After?

Posted by Amy S.F. Lutz

Every year, there are all these arcane questions on the ballot:  voters are asked to decide whether city officials should issue more reports, or how often the grass in city parks should be mowed- usually things the average voter cares nothing about.

This November, however, voters in San Francisco will have the opportunity to decide this question:  Should the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant be renamed the George W. Bush Sewage Plant?

Naturally, local Republicans oppose the measure.  Supporters say that Bush deserves the honor, given the mess he's made with the economy and the war in Iraq.

I believe you would have to have a brain to have feelings... So there doesn't seem to be any danger of hurting his feelings.
