San Francisco is trying to name their sewage treatment plant after President Bush.

“We think that it’s important to remember our leaders in the right historical context,” said McConnell, a member of the group that was formed after friends came up with the renaming idea.

“In President Bush’s case, we think that we will be cleaning up a substantial mess for the next 10 or 20 years,” he said. “The sewage treatment facility’s job is to clean up a mess, so we think it’s a fitting tribute.”

Interesting. Any takers on renaming the the Johnston landfill “The Dick Cheney Stinking Heap of Garbage and Corruption”? What, too much?

The South Side Community Land Trust is holding their 16th Annual Rare and Unusual Plant Sale this weekend at City Farm on the Southside of Providence.
