"We didn't name Cesar Chavez Street after the man because he was a convenient way to get on 101." Ok, you're amazing. Also, I'm totally supporting Prop. R. I think it's quite fitting.

I dislike this assclown of a president as much as the next guy but seriously, don't any of these folks a) have something better to put their time and energy into protesting or b) ever consider the cost of initating a voter initiative? The best way to drag this President? Consign him the the dustbin of history and forget about him as quickly as possible. Does anyone really remember a significant thing that Zachary Taylor or Chester A Arthur did? Probably not, unless you consulted wikipedia...

"why dishonor the workers" I'm missing something... how does it dishonor the workers? "A sewage treatment plant takes sh*t and turns it into good things, while dubya takes good things and turns them into sh*t!" We didn't name Washington and Lincoln high schools after those guys because they housed or taught students. We didn't name Cesar Chavez Street after the man because he was a convenient way to get on 101. That said, the 'facility' is a giant tank of shit. Appropriate indeed.

"R" will pass by a gigantic flush of the voters.

I love how the opposing argument is basically, "No, let's name a bankruptcy firm after him instead."

Appropriate! Or is it? A sewage treatment plant takes sh*t and turns it into good things, while dubya takes good things and turns them into sh*t!

Only if the the station only discharges raw, untreated sewage into the Bay, and is renamed "The G W Bush Perpetual Discharge of Shit Into The Environment Facility". Otherwise, yeah, why dishonor the workers who work so hard to make sure the plant is as sweetly clean as possible?

Too bad they couldn't tweak the ballot so it could be Prop W.

"This is great as a stoned, joking suggestion, but as a reality its kind of stupid and immature." I agree. And marvel at the two dudes who had the free time and the will to collect all of those signatures for an idea that kind of tarnishes upon any serious reflection.

I kind of agree. Do we really want to disrespect the people working at the sewage plant? And also, do we want a reminder of this man in our city? Lets just forget him. This is great as a stoned, joking suggestion, but as a reality its kind of stupid and immature.

San francisco, if i may recall, is a democratic city, so it wouldn't make sense to name something after W, but still, what?
