Things like this make me miss my homeland. San Francisco is holding a vote to rename their largest sewer treatment facility system after the one and only, George W. Bush. San Franciscans think this is only fitting to have a sewer be a monument dedicated to President Bush’s work in the White House.

The Presidential Memorial Commission of SF has collected 8,500 signatures in support of this bill which is far over the amount needed for proposal on the November ballot.

Howard Epstein is the chair of the SF Republican Party and feels the “typical San Francisco crazies” are abusing the system. We ain’t ALL crazy, jerk. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission is in on the joke while Republicans say Bush has accomplished SO much in such a short period of time that he deserves this honor. Guess they don’t get the humor behind it.

Signatures are continuing to be gathered on the streets of SF. Campaigners will wear Uncle Sam suits, top hats and play American patriotic music. I think they’re the San Francisco crazies.

Three drunk men, all in their twenties, decided it would be a good idea to play in Sacramento’s sewer system. They were reminiscing of the good times they had playing sewer dwelling turtles in their make-believe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game as teens. The men became stuck in the sewer and had to be removed yesterday in the middle of the night.

Police were patrolling the area by the sewer system around 1:00 a.m. when they heard the men. The men used the excuse that they used to explore the sewer as teens, so why couldn’t they now? The men attempted to lift a 100 pound manhole cover and try to get out of the sewer. Once they lifted the manhole a car passed over it causing it to come down onto the head of one of the men.

Firefighters had to climb down into the sewer, strap the injured man to a backboard and lift him out on the rescue board. The firefighters said they have seen a lot of strange things in their line of work but this sewer rescue was a first for them. The man was not seriously hurt.
