The June edition of Harper's Magazine includes several articles explaining how much work is needed to undue eight years of the Bush misadministration. It's worth the read at the library.
Harper's each month also includes a list of statistics chosen and arranged for ironic effect. The online version for the past six months is only available to subscribers, but it may prove educational and fun to read through pre-2007 indices:
From January 2005:
Number of House members in 1979 who voted against making Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a national holiday : 133
Number who are still in the House : 9
Number who are Vice President : 1
[Moral: Dick's a dick]
Average number of suicides per 100,000 residents in states carried by President Bush in November (2004) : 13.5
Average number of suicides in states carried by John Kerry : 9.9
[Moral: Buch kills]
