They named that building after George H. W. Bush, a former president and director of the CIA. Makes sense to me.

Yeah the guy who was the head of the CIA during that whole Oliver North thing and no one remembers that... right?

Pepperage Farm remembers.

And so do I. I was in my late teens and didn't have enough context to understand it then. But I do now.

That's because Pepperidge Farms is a CIA front, they remember because they have all he wiretapping records.

Perspective change: Every Pepperidge Farms meme is just them reminding you of something they've successfully subverted from public knowledge. They're looking into the sea of sheep and staring directly at you and saying, "Yeah, we know you know. What are you going to do about it?"

Yeah, but given what we know now about him and his son, keeping the name is almost a tenth as bad as the FBI headquarters still being named after abuse of power pioneer J. Edgar Hoover..
