The best thing that can be said about the new Democrat-run Congress is the fact that it hasn't done much of anything. The mainstream media has finally noticed.

In the heady opening weeks of the 110th Congress, the Democrats' domestic agenda appeared to be flying through the Capitol: Homeland security upgrades, a higher minimum wage and student loan interest rate cuts all passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.

But now that initial progress has foundered as Washington policymakers have been consumed with the debate over the Iraq war. Not a single priority on the Democrats' agenda has been enacted, and some in the party are growing nervous that the "do nothing" tag they slapped on Republicans last year could come back to haunt them.

They've got another year of doing nothing before that tag will really stick -- but there's plenty of other reasons to toss the Democrats out.

For the record, here are the items that have become law as part of this Congress:
