Local Issues Friday, Oct. 24, 2008 - 8:58 a.m. Back in July, this story made world headlines: A citizens group in San Francisco wants to pay an ironic tribute to President George W Bush when he leaves office - by naming a sewage plant after him. Sure enough, this measure made it on to the ballot. John and I voted yes, because we relish the idea of our fair city's uberleft media outlets being forced to actually say the full name of our forty-third president any time something about the treatment plant makes it into the news. --- We voted NO on Proposition 8. There are other things we should be worrying about in this state other than passing legislation which interferes with the relationship of two unrelated consenting adults. What's next? Passing legislation that says not to put out a burning house if it's been struck by lightning because it was God's will? --- How's your knowledge of what happened in the news this week? Take this quiz and find out! --- That's it from here. Have a good Friday. ---
