The first item on the agenda is to take Senator Frist to the wood shed and explain to him what you want done.Yep. And when he gets done with Frist, he also needs to have a little talk with Specter.

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Monday he has "a big agenda in mind" for his second term that begins this week and that four years is going to be a short time to meet all his goals.
"We got to get moving and get some things done before -- before people kind of write me off," Bush told CBS News in an interview.
He said he hopes that with his final election behind him, Republicans and Democrats in Congress will work together to pass his legislation. Unity will be the most important theme of his inaugural address on Thursday, he said as he taped separate interviews with CBS, ABC and NBC.
"I have a responsibility to try to unite this country to achieve big things for all Americans," Bush told ABC News. "I will say that in my inaugural address. I'm looking forward to the challenge."
He said he'll announce his "big agenda" at the State of the Union address in two weeks, but it will reflect his campaign promises. Those include overhauling Social Security and the legal liability system; improving the tax code, school standards and the budget process; and making health care accessible to more Americans.
Before the State of the Union, Iraqis will hold the first elections for their new government. Although turnout is not expected to be high as voters face violence at the polls, Bush said the election itself is a success. "Having the vote is a victory for those of us who love freedom," Bush told "NBC Nightly News."
Besides Bush's swearing in on Thursday, the inaugural week festivities include a salute to America's military and several lavish balls. Bush said he doesn't think all the pomp is excessive despite the war and last month's devastating tsunami.

Then he had better hurry up and crush the RINOs and Dems!
The first item on the agenda is to take Senator Frist to the wood shed and explain to him what you want done.Yep. And when he gets done with Frist, he also needs to have a little talk with Specter.
He should open with a little "shock and awe" - by telling the UN that the US is no longer a member effective immediately.
1. Abolish the IRS.
2. Pre-empt all state/local gun control laws with a federal preemption. Nationwide Vermont carry, goodbye NFA '34, GCA '68, Brady, etc.
3. Get the US out of the U.N.
4. Stop paying IMF, World Bank, and other unaccountable-to-the-people orgs with US taxpayer dollars.
Who doesn't expect high turnout? I know there are many that hope the turnout isn't high. The terrorists, middle eastern neighbors such as Iran and Syria, Our PRESS, and our LIBERALS to name a few but the expectation it will not be high? The reporter's hopes seeping through here. Last I saw a high percentage of Iraqi's intended to vote in spite of violence. Guess we'll find out.
I pray the Iraqi's prove their enemies and detractors wrong, whatever the turnout. They are a FREE people, once they fully understand that liberation no one can stand in their way.
Mr. President. Thank you.
Congress, prepare for war. Republicans and Democrats alike. I've no desire to "mark time". Refuse to do your jobs, we'll find people who will.
Is the war on terror over? Who won? Have we sealed the borders?
Just wondering.
He's gonna waste it all on amnesty for illegals. Good luck on getting anything through after that.
Moral values won the election. That should be first. What's on the agenda?
