The George W. Bush Sewage Plant?

[Mugu]

NITYA VENKATARAMAN WRITES:

Noted on SFist...

A grassroots team in San Francisco is sponsoring a November ballot initiative to rename the "Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility" the "George W. Bush Sewage Plant".

Not sure how serious to take this given the fact that members of the six-member panel include "Peaches Christ" a "Gender Illusionist" and businessman "Sister Porn Again".

Still, my most vocal knower of all things random (read: my mother) points out that there's a historical precedent for such local hijinx: During the Vietnam War, the Indian city of Calcutta (capital of West Bengal, which holds the distinction for the world's longest-running democratically-elected communist government) renamed the street where the U.S. Consulate is located Ho Chi Minh Sarani, or Ho Chi Minh Way.

Can you think of any others?
