(And some days it takes more Stones than others...) Where Mythical Bestiary meets Contemporary Culture and Chews On Its Leg Until Covered with Slobber.

If the Democrats take the Senate too (12 Midnight here, too close to call), there will be no end-zone dances. But Carl Levin is quietly and judiciously going to start looking for the Truth-- last seen bloody, beaten and left lying in the ditch by George W. Bush.

I think the most important thing the Dems can do is initiate oversight measures and take a hard look at the spending over the last several years. The American people want and need a restoration of government integrity through transparency of government operations.
I know people are eager for some form of retribution, but I think that's a mistake. People are fed up with partisan warring. People want to see the Democrats take the lead and bring about some beginning measure of positive change.
The one pitfall I believe the new government should avoid is K-Street Syndrome. They could start that purification process by totally revamping all campaign finance laws.
Hey--you forgot number 2...is this a Monty Python sketch? "There is no #2", or something like that?
Just kidding...I agree with you on the proposed agenda.
The missing #2 looks like a typo but contains, in fact, the secret agenda of the Democratic Party: flag burning, mandatory gay marriage (even for heterosexuals), a new cable network, the Madonna 24 hour all-blasphemy network, cutting and running in Iraq, not just letting the terrorists win but begging them to kill us, persecution of Christians and Nancy Pelosi converting your children to Marxist satanist lesbianism. As a long-time proponent of pornography, all I can say about the last is that it may be unnatural, but it makes great video.
