Tributes to U.S. presidents have come in all forms -- take the Washington Monument, the Kennedy Space Center and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, to name a few. And soon, if a San Francisco group has its way, there could be the George W. Bush Sewage Plant, according to The New York Times.

A group called the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco has been collecting signatures to rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant after Bush upon his exit from office next year. The plan -- conceived in a bar -- would place a vote on the November ballot to offer "an appropriate honor for a truly unique president," the group told the Times. Supporters said that they have enough signatures to qualify the measure.

Whether it is successful or not, the group wants supporters to participate in a "synchronized flush" when the new president is inaugurated on Jan. 20 to send a flood of water toward the plant. Read the full story at nytimes.com.

From airports to bridges to monuments, former presidents have had all kinds of things named -- and even built -- in their honor. The John F. Kennedy Space Center, above, was renamed as such in late 1963 to honor the 35th president, who put America on the path to the moon.

A sewage plant cleans up crap so that seems inappropriate since Bush has done nothing but create it. I think a land fill would be more fitting. Where the toxic waste rises to the top for all to see!

Suck at it. and see how many pieces of trash you can get named after.Without any president. you would all be screwed. good or bad.maybe you should think of the good things he didinstead of bashing him for everything that happened.that he couldnt control...

I love France if it weren't for the French. I love San Francisco if it weren't for the citizens. Makes you want to bring back the neutron bomb.

I may not be the biggest Bush fan but at least somebody is willing to use his name for something other then a road or street. Rest assured am sure they will name other stuff for Bush as well but thia would be the first President named building beside a Library for that formal President.
