Sewage plant may ‘honour’ Bush

REAGAN has his highways. Lincoln has his memorial. Washington has the capital, and a state, too. But President George W Bush may soon be the sole president to have a memorial named after him that you can contribute to from the bathroom.

From the Department of Damned-With-Faint-Praise, a group going by the regal-sounding name of the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is planning to ask voters to change the name of a prize-winning water-treatment plant on the shoreline to the George W Bush Sewage Plant.

The plan would place a vote on the November ballot to provide “an appropriate honour for a truly unique president.”
