The other day, I heard Rush Limbaugh criticize president Bush for not having the kind of vision in his domestic agenda that he has in his international agenda. How I wish that were true.

It appears to me that the president's domestic agenda is focused to a fault. This is what we know so far:

1. Stock the courts with right-wing judges who (according to the names he's already presented) have a history of being anti-woman, anti-gay, and anti-person of color.

2. Tie the hands of scientists who might be able to find preventions or cures for disabling diseases.

3. Destroy separation of church and state by giving money to religious groups to carry out public service.

4 .Enact a tax cut designed to give "relief" to a few very wealthy citizens.

5. Ignore evidence that animal testing can be highly significantly reduced, and reverse the reduction that was in place, resulting in the torture of millions of animals.

6. Encourage Americans to spy on one another.

7. Appoint criminals as heads of crucial national agencies.

8. Allow military tribunals to try people in the U.S.

9. Eliminate laws that are helping us reach goals of having clean air, clean water, and parcels of undisturbed forest.

10. Award a justice official whose negligence played a role in a national tragedy.

Seems pretty clear to me, Rush.
