  • SheilaNoya, on 07/18/2008, -12/+180Don't forget about the "Synchronized Flush" that is being planned all across America. On the exact moment the new president is sworn in, everyone should flush their toilets as a symbolic farewell to Bush.

    It won't really accomplish anything, but it may put a smile on your face and give you a huge sense of relief.
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -2/+141This is an insult to the Sewage Treatment plant.
  • neognostic, on 07/18/2008, -5/+133Just waiting for the news of him coming to the ribbon cutting.
  • rpi22, on 07/19/2008, -3/+78well, theyŕe both full of *****...
  • danibobanny, on 07/18/2008, -3/+77I still maintain that the man doesn't deserve the honor. (It IS pretty funny though!!)
  • 00z003, on 07/19/2008, -4/+75The whole country reeks of George Bush sewage. Good luck processing all that filth.
  • sapphire9488, on 07/19/2008, -5/+72I still think the George W. Bush Presidential Library is funnier x1000
  • dissolutionman, on 07/19/2008, -4/+70The #1 complaint? A sewage plant does something useful.
  • theandy1, on 07/19/2008, -6/+53I bet he's dumb enough to think it's an honor.
  • ripple123, on 07/19/2008, -6/+50Um. Yeah, snooty doesn't work on digg man. Cause its digg. And frankly, you've nothing to be snooty about.
  • qdkk, on 07/19/2008, -2/+46It's seems a shame to name anything after Bush, even a sewage plant. I get it, but I wonder if Bush will.
  • californicator, on 07/18/2008, -4/+34Well, you can bury it again when it passes in November.
  • dumpyhumpy, on 07/19/2008, -1/+29@kadio:
    If you really want to be green about it, you can take a dump prior to the ribbon cutting and let it linger until the ceremony. And to conserve toilet paper, rip a copy of the constitution out of a textbook and use that to wipe.
  • charm803, on 07/19/2008, -3/+31I hear they are going to have "My Pet Goat" translated into different languages so all the children in the world can read his favorite book.

    Of course, they might have to read it upside down............
  • samcrut, on 07/19/2008, -3/+29Here in Dallas they're fighting tooth and nail to keep the Bush library from being built at SMU. It already sickens me any time I have to get on the George H W Bush Turnpike toll road. It literally turns my stomach when I even drive by the signs. But THIS! This is something I would wholeheartedly support! If I were to drive by a sign saying George W Bush Sewage Treatment Facility, it would make me smile every damn time.
  • Arramol, on 07/19/2008, -0/+24Somehow, I doubt he's ever actually read the Bible. Except maybe to learn enough to convince Evangelicals that he's a Christian so they'll vote for him.
  • charm803, on 07/19/2008, -1/+25Hey, anything to make my ass happy.....and the rest of me, too.
  • kadio, on 07/19/2008, -4/+27why waste the water?
  • charm803, on 07/19/2008, -2/+21Sure, it's funny now....but it'll be freaking HILARIOUS if it passes!
  • phycon, on 07/19/2008, -1/+19If he does, he'll just stink up the joint
  • Erectile, on 07/19/2008, -2/+20I like how in a story about sewage treatment on Digg, all you get in the comments is recycled jokes.
  • sonnybobiche, on 07/19/2008, -1/+18Actually, if you had been on digg a few months back and read the article "What would happen if everyone flushed their toilets at the same time?" you would know that this would be disastrous. Sewage would back up and flood every street in every city.
  • ShellShock11, on 07/19/2008, -0/+16Which would be a sleek reminder of his presidency...
  • bjornski, on 07/19/2008, -5/+20@ssn697

    You're right, it doesn't have the touch of irony needed to be truly funny.

    Like naming an airport after Reagan, the guy who fired all the air-traffic controllers.

    But it IS fitting. Very much so.
  • Rostin, on 07/19/2008, -4/+16"It literally turns my stomach"

    I think you need to look up the word "literally". That or go immediately to a hospital.
  • supermanky, on 07/19/2008, -2/+14Yes!
    Good job, guys!
    I saw you all over SF last month.
    At last, a legacy worth it's weight in poop!
  • GlassAgate, on 07/19/2008, -4/+15How dare they!!! A sewage treatment plant is of use to society.
    It takes a ***** situation and makes in right. And Bush?
    He makes ***** situations. He's an anti-"sewage treatment
    planet". It would be an insult to all sewage treatment plants
    to name a single one after him.

  • minox, on 07/19/2008, -5/+16"We can all agree that it's sophomoric and all that, and I'm obviously not a shill for the White House. But have the arrogant creeps behind this effort thought about how this kind of thing just reinforces the public impression that the cultural left drips with contempt for the common man? Do you think the people working at the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant think their lives are a joke? Their work is essential to the very existence of urban industrial society and these leftist nuts mock them? It's disgusting, but this contempt for the hoi polloi is the reason Republicans keep winning presidential elections. If the Bush administration were smart, they'd have leapt at this opportunity, saying that while the president deplored the disdain for working people inherent in such an effort, he would be proud to have his name associated with such a vital service and stood in solidarity with the engineers and chemists and electricians and others that help make modern life possible against the scorn of the lunatic left."

  • analogkid01, on 07/19/2008, -3/+13"GWB is a good president! He is! HE IS HE IS HE IS LALALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!"
  • UtahApocalyse, on 07/19/2008, -4/+13Its as full of Sh*t as he is!!
  • bjw33, on 07/19/2008, -0/+9Does that include taking a synchronized dump?
    I don't know...it just seems more fitting, since we're talking about Bush.
  • peestandingup, on 07/19/2008, -2/+11He doesnt. Maybe MAYBE a turd in the sewer would be deserving. But I'm thinking more along the lines of a maggot on a turd.
  • BossKey, on 07/19/2008, -0/+9I love how the right tries to "smear" Obama's name by mentioning Hussein. Hussein is the name of a US ally, King Hussein of Jordan. If the point of this to show how Obama is a strong proponent of US alliances, then thank you, right wing.
  • rz8472, on 07/19/2008, -3/+12We should have named a landfill after him.
  • Shaman760, on 07/19/2008, -2/+10I'll say it again, a rendering plant is more fitting for this prick. Or better yet, name a rendering plant after Condolleezza Rice.
  • biotch, on 07/19/2008, -2/+9Ok try to wrestle the few brain cells you have free to understand this one.
    Nancy had nothing to do with putting this on the ballot.
    Nancy did not dedicate her government service to this initiative. People went around and got the signatures required to put it up themselves.
  • analogkid01, on 07/19/2008, -2/+9If only they weren't so busy wide-stancing in the bathhouses....
  • Metasquares, on 07/19/2008, -1/+8This goes way back, but I seem to remember an episode of Pete and Pete built around this premise.

    Good times, those...
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -1/+8The only problem is a sewage treatment plant cleans up *****. Bush just spewed it out and left cleaning the mess up to whoever succeeds him.
  • sb66, on 07/19/2008, -0/+6And of course don't forget the 'fried chicken' remark. Wow that's really funny, I get it.
    Insulting Obama's name and race are the acts of ignorant buffoons. But then hey, that's a core group of republicans.
  • qdkk, on 07/19/2008, -7/+13Again, I say, children often can't understand humor. QED.
  • inactive, on 07/19/2008, -2/+8Even after his term in office, his name will be uttered with the same expletive.
  • qdkk, on 07/19/2008, -6/+12Children often can't understand humor.
  • PhonicUK, on 07/19/2008, -0/+6Ripped off comment about what people want to have happen to Margret Thatchers grave. Don't pass other peoples material off as your own.
  • Kanten, on 07/19/2008, -0/+6When's the last time the man truly "got" anything?
  • DrBeaverhausen, on 07/19/2008, -1/+7The biggest attraction of the Bush library will be the worlds largest collection of stick figure crayon drawings.
  • gandhi2, on 07/19/2008, -0/+6Oh, come on, folks....that was funny for both sides of the aisle!
  • VikOlliver, on 07/19/2008, -8/+14When Bush is finally dead, he'll be buried at the bottom of a man-made lake.

    Well, it will be when we've all finished pissing on his grave.

    Vik :v)
  • alleged, on 07/19/2008, -1/+7The only problem is that it trivializes the humble but honorable work done by sewage plant workers. They deserve better.
  • kaykfrink, on 07/19/2008, -1/+6Screw flushing the toilet. At noon on January 20th I am taking a big old shot of something (I haven't decided what yet, I'm not sure which liquor is most fitting for the occasion.)
