Bush is in the doghouse--I mean the outhouse.
According to a newspaper article, San Francisco voters will have the chance this November to leave a lasting monument to President Bush. On the ballot will be a proposal to rename the city's waste treatment facility the "George W. Bush Sewage Plant." Those who are against this proposal say that this type of memorial is unnecessary because "they just want to forget George Bush's presidency" and that it's an insult to name a sewage plant after the president because "sewage plants perform a valuable public service."

No point in putting his name on something useful.
This is true. I've been trying to think of a more fitting monument. Perhaps a landfill.
How about everyone just forgetting completely. No mention anywhere.
Well, that would be OK, except that we don't want a repeat in the future. I think he needs to be held up as an example of what kind of president not to be.
We have a had few of those in our history and it has not prevented the next one from happening.
That's true. We Americans must be stupid or something.
I don't know about you, but I was not born for some of those past Presidents, some being in the 1800's and early 1900's, so that is one excuse.
And when they teach history in high school they do not often focus on it as a learn from past mistakes standpoint.
I think that's a big problem. When I took history, it was basically just memorize some facts and dates in order to pass the test. None of my teachers spent any time analyzing what was happening in current politics and relating it to the past. I'm sure that's not happening much in schools now either.
