If you think President George W. Bush is doing a horrible job, two-thirds of the country agrees with you, including me. I hate Bush, despise him, even. Unfortunately, the city of San Francisco is taking that hate to an extreme.
San Francisco voters will decide in November whether to rename the local sewage plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant. After months of organizing, local activists collected enough signatures to put this satiric proposition on their November ballot.
Even the least politically active liberals dislike Bush, but this disdain should not be committed to permanent memory by re-naming a sewage plant after him. This is exactly the cracked up "liberal propaganda" that so many conservatives, and even independents, demonize.
This is an unnecessary waste. As an educated voter, I feel ashamed that some uninformed activists who call themselves liberal would think that this would be a political action that would have a real and lasting impact on the people of this country.
Besides, the statement that's being made doesn't make sense anyway. Sewage plants clean up messes. No one would accuse the Bush administration of that.
