I'm surprised that the sign doesn't read : George Bush Center for Intelligent Design...:p

Note that the sign is referring to the senior Bush, not W.

Exactly, same with the Airport in Houston.

It is George H. W Bush. the elder goes by George Bush.. The younger George W. Bush. Much like JOhn Adams and John Q Adams.
