Brown-Bashing: Give him a fitting tribute

San Francisco may be about to give a very fitting tribute to outgoing President George W Bush - naming a sewage plant after good ol' Dubya:

"In President Bush's case, we think that we will be cleaning up a substantial mess for the next 10 or 20 years... The sewage treatment facility's job is to clean up a mess, so we think it's a fitting tribute."

It is a cheap shot, a gimmicky idea with little real world value. But like many such cheap little jokes, it is also very funny.

And, of course, got me thinking about what we could give (hopefully soon to be outgoing) Prime Minsiter Gordon Brown. And after much thought* I think we should go with a dog turd - a pointless, ugly object that just gets in the way and irritates other people. Sure, the dog turd will degrade and ultimately vanish, but that in itself would be a nice metaphor for what should happen to Brown as his administration continues to fall apart and he goes on with his slow drive towards obscurity...

*About 15 to 20 seconds actually...
