The Republican National Committee’s health insurance plan covers elective abortion – a procedure the party’s own platform calls “a fundamental assault on innocent human life.”
Federal Election Commission Records show the RNC purchases its insurance from Cigna. Two sales agents for the company said that the RNC’s policy covers elective abortion.
But they're gonna fix it - now that it's been found out and brought to light. Mike Steele is all over it and has told the bennies admin to drop coverage for abortion services. Read all about it.

Gotcha - Followup
From Media Matters, Hannity issued an "apology" for airing some bogus video - which is just the most recent in a long line of such things:

The brilliance of Jon Stewart is indispensable.

What's the message between the lines here? Why would Roger & Rupert single out this one small piece of BS for challenge?
The Costs Of War
Looking at War strictly as a business proposition is a little dicey because it reduces the thing to simplistic dimensions; but trying to look at War always and only as a totality, it gets way too complex and convoluted in a big hurry. You have to break it done into bite-sized chunks. So here's a slice fer ya. BTW: these numbers don't include things like Cost Of Opportunity, Cost Of Capital, Depreciation, etc.
These items are all relative to what we could provide for people here in Albemarle County if we had spent our share of the money on something other than wars in Iraq and Afghanistan:
-- 41,496 Homes with Renewable Electricity per Year
-- 732 Elementary School Teachers per Year
-- 14,077 People with Health Care per Year
-- 1,042 Scholarships for University Students per Year
So let's see - with a population of about 116,000, we could have provided a nice green energy source for PRACTICALLY EVERY FUCKING BUILDING IN THE WHOLE FUCKING COUNTY.
Sorry. Kinda lost it there for a minute. I'd just really like to start doing some smart things with our money for a change.
Try it for yourself.

Worth Remembering
...though (probably) soon to be forgotten. I can easily see Mr Cao being challenged in a primary early next year. But for now, he's a hero; a guy who votes for something he thinks will HELP THE PEOPLE in his district, in spite of what his party wants. Nice knowin' ya, Mr Cao.
