It's a shame the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is often the by-product of anal sex is already taken.

Rename Plum Island Animal Desease Center. At least there, one can find those pesky bio-warfare WMD.

If renaming a sewage treatment plant after GWB seems too much like copying San Francisco, we could always rename a jail after him. Or maybe a transfer station. Or that methane-gas-leaking landfill down near Federal Way.

Isn't there a detention facility in Cuba currently un-named?

I imagine some gate in the border fence needs naming, as well.

Too bad we're removing those pay toilets/shooting galleries. Isn't the Army building a new facility for amputee rehab? But not here. Around here I'd go for the sewage plant, especially because every city has one and so across the country we can unite in naming them all after him.

Go figure Houston renaming their airport after a president that was popular in, and from Texas. And are we really complaining about Reagan getting stuff named after him? I mean wasn't he one of the most popular presidents since FDR?

Clinton not having something named after him I suppose is somewhat surprising. But then again what kind of jokes would go on about the bathrooms at Clinton Intl. Airport? I'm not saying that is doesn't deserve is. Just is name is strongly correlated with some undesirable things.

And Carter, really? I'm sure he's getting his rightful dues somewhere in Georgia.

Come to NY where you can fly into JFK and then drive around on the FDR. Two democrats that never got enough recognition.

@12 -- George Herbert Walker Bush is not from Texas.

George Herbert Walker Bush was not popular in Texas.

@19 George W Bush WAS born in CT, but he hailed from Texas

He WAS popular in texas and disowned.

As for dedicating national treasures after our president. I propose the GWB nuclear waste storage facility at Yucca mountain.

I like the idea of the sewage treatment plant... but, it doesn't really work symbolically. Sewage treatment plants take something shitty and make it okay. George W. Bush took something okay ('Merica) and made it pretty shitty.

@33 -- George W Bush can claim to be from Texas. George HW Bush cannot.

Comment by lostboy

OR Matt @33, you're confusing George W. Bush with George H. W. Bush.� The Houston airport is named for the father.

The airport was renamed George Bush Intercontinental Airport/Houston in 1997, in honor of Former President George Bush. President Bush is a long time resident of Houston and was present at the airport's opening in 1969 when he was a Member of Congress representing the Houston area.

Fuck Texas. Is Texas even American? Didn't they illegally sneak the whole state across the border and then pretend like they belonged here? Texas ruined a great country but it's not too late to make it right.

Naming a sewage treatment plant in honor of shrub is an insult to sewage treatment plants everywhere.

Even naming a presidential library after him seems inappropriate, since the only book we know for certain he's ever read was "My Pet Goat".

If we're going the sex act route, I would recommend we slap his name on a BDSM scene wherein the top repeatedly tells the bottom what they are about to do won't hurt at all - at which point the bottom is waterboarded, anally probed for WMD's, and has all the money removed from their wallet.

Oh, right. And there's no safe word.

forget bush. he's not even running things. let's name something unpleasant after dick cheney. it would be more appropriate to memorialize "that man behind the curtain." to quote the wizard of oz.
