Pass the Coffee and Bran Muffin
Best news I’ve heard all week:
Reagan has his highways. Lincoln has his memorial. Washington has the capital (and a state, too). But President 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 here to change the name of a prize-winning water treatment plant on the shoreline to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.
The plan, naturally hatched in a bar, would place a vote on the November ballot to provide “an appropriate honor for a truly unique president.”
I think this is a fantastic idea. Every morning constitutional henceforth becomes a majestic tribute to the man most responsible for flushing this country down the crapper.
No doubt, there will be those who squawk that such a tribute is immature and childish. And they do, of course, have a point. However, given the unlikelihood of George W. Bush ever receiving the tribute his actions so obviously warrant – namely, a speedy war crimes trial followed by a painful public execution – naming a shit factory after him will just have to do.
