Why have I only found this site now?

The Wage Slave Journal has an extremely detailed Scorecard of Evil for George W. Bush. The scorecard lists, in chronological order, all the various questionable things the Bush administration did in its first three years in office. The scorecard sadly ends in October of 2003, but it's still a great read.

I'd nearly forgotten some of the things that happened in the early days of the Bush administration:

• 3-20-2001: Bush signs ergonomics repeal. [and on 4-05-2002 suggested voluntary rules to replace them.]
  
• 4-12-2001: Bush tries to cut birth control coverage for federal workers.
  
• 5-8-2001: Bush cuts funding to anti-nuclear proliferation programs.
  
• 5-20-2001 & 7-26-2001: Bush rejects a protocol to enforce germ warfare treaty.
  
• 6-15-2001: Bush denies Africans AIDS drugs through international aid agency.
  
• 8-8-2001: Bush eases Clinton rules on industrial pollution.
  
• 8-28-2001: Bush delays reparations to cancer-stricken uranium miners.
  
• 11-2-2001: Bush overturns the 1978 Presidential Records Act.
  
• 1-15-2002: Bush relaxes environmental rules on wetlands development.
  
• 1-15-2002: Bush plans to store--rather than destroy--nuclear weapons slated for reduction.
  
• 1-22-2002: Bush backs drilling for natural gas in national monument.
  
• 2-24-2002: Bush makes taxpayers--rather than polluters--pay to clean up Superfund sites.
  
• 2-26-2002: Bush tells welfare mothers to find husbands.
  
• 3-29-2002: Bush uses alternative energy funds to pay for printing energy policy.
  
• 4-26-2002: Bush lets mining companies dump waste into streams.
  
• 5-23-2002: Bush reopens mining on proposed national monument.
  
• 6-12-2002: Bush shields missile defense plans from congressional oversight.
  
• 6-14-2002: Bush refuses to enforce an important provision of the Clean Air Act.
  
• 6-19-2002: Bush says toxic sludge is good for fish.
  
• 7-1-2002: Bush cuts funds to Superfund cleanup sites.
  
• 7-16-2002: Bush creates a program for Americans to spy on each other.
  
• 7-29-2002: Bush praises miners' rescue while cutting the budget for the department that saved them.

I could go on, but I'll stop here, since the real power of the list is simply the sheer number of things that the Bush administration has done that are ethically questionable.

What if we had a president in office who did the exact opposite of everything on this list? Let's imagine ...
