With any luck this measure will go through; there will be a ceremony, with a band and a plaque, and Dubya will be invited to speak. Promises to be quite an event, even though some people seem to be less than pleased:

Howard Epstein, chair of the San Francisco Republican Party, called the measure an abuse of the system and "loony bin direct democracy." He vowed to "use all means" to defeat the measure if it qualifies for the ballot. That includes those very expensive glossy mailers, he said.

"There's no use other than to make these nutcases feel good," Epstein said. "It's typical San Francisco crazies."

Why would he say anything like that? Let’s see who the organizers are:

Board of Directors

T. Wayne Pickering, chairman
Peaches Christ, entertainer, filmmaker, cult leader
Moses Koret, philanthropist
Chicken John, showman, mayoral candidate
Paul Festa, filmmaker, historian
Sister Selma Soul, community activist, nun
Tangie Rumors, public servant
Sister Porn Again, businessnun, restauranteur
Mary Kaye Hole, beautician, boutique anesthetics

I see nothing unusual at all in this list; just average folks out here. (You should see the real crazies.)

The most amusing part of this is that spokespeople for the sewage plant, while accepting that there is something humorous about it all, are opposed to naming it after Bush – because they think it the plant deserves better than that.

How bad is their sewage treatment plant? Could send mixed messages. Could jinx the place.....I dunno...

"The great divide in this country is not by race or even income, it's by those who think they are better than everyone else and think they should play by a different set of rules," --Bill Clinton
