... In San Francisco, "W" may soon stand for "wastewater." On Tuesday, voters will consider commemorating the 43rd president's legacy in a less than exalted way: renaming the city's Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant as the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

... In a brand of civics you won't see as part of festivities in say, Lubbock, Texas, the Yes on R news conference at City Hall on Election Night will be hosted by a drag queen named "Peaches Christ."

... City leaders say if the measure passes, it will cost about $50,000 to put up new signs and change all the stationery and letterhead. At first, managers of the city-owned plant said the election was disrespectful to the hardworking employees of the plant. But then their union, the SEIU, endorsed it.

... Supporters plan to commemorate Inauguration Day on Jan. 20 with a synchronized flush of hundreds of thousands of San Francisco toilets, an action that would send a flood of water toward the plant, as Bush leaves the throne of power.

In recent weeks, they have asked San Francisco shop owners to tape posters in their windows that feature a picture of Bush emerging from a toilet, Alfred E. Neuman-like, with the words: "Help put the #1 guy on the #2 building."
