President Bush finally seems ready to accept that his rich Presidential legacy may be coming to an end. The President who, in past years, made the trip to Crawford, Texas to vote publicly, has instead voted by an absentee ballot and will watch the Tuesdays historic election on a white house television set (rumored to be a $5000 65" LCD bought with your tax dollars). It appears that finally the President has stopped stirring up political drama and is ready to hand over the reigns to whomever his predecessor will be. Others however are not willing to let Mr. Bush slip into everyday life without getting in one last word. San Fransisco, a bastion of conservative supporters of Bush has sought to honor their noble leader by naming a sewage plant after him. Proposition R will appear on San Fransisco's ballot and proposes renaming an existing plant to commemorate President Bush. The plant, which treats sewage to help reduce its effect on the environment when it is dumped into the ocean, is perfect to continuing Bush's legacy of being a proponent of the environment. Foreigners are exploiting Bush's silence by insulting him in these last few days. The former Governor of Hong Kong (the man who let Hong Kong be taken over by China) has gone on the record as saying "I don't think he's got a first-class temperament, put it mildly. And I think he's deeply uncurious intellectually." Then again you don't see America getting repossessed by Britain.

Proposition R will do more than just commemorate the legacy of President George W Bush. It will serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. Our children and our children's children and our children's children's children will look upon that sewage treatment plant and marvel at how successful George W Bush must have been to receive the honor that Prop R provides. Furthermore, future generations will understand that George W Bush cleaned up waste in more ways than one. His treatment plant will clean our excrement just like his policies have cleaned up our great union's international reputation.
It'd really be interesting if George Bush was ready to turn the reigns over to his predecessor but aside from that confusion, its an interesting post. I wonder if Bush will make the trip to dedicate his possible new sewage plant. If so, I'm sure he'll receive a rousing ovation from his loyal fan base in the heavily conservative and pro-war San Francisco.
I really think Nancy Pelosi must be behind Prop R, and is just doing it as a favor to her good friend George. But come on, he and his legacy need it. Even his $5000 65" LCD TV pales in comparison to the $3.4 million dollar projector Obama ordered (also with tax dollars). Unfortunately, Obama will probably leave that piece of pork back in Chicago.
