By taking real steps away from purchasing $700,000,000 of foreign oil every day and, instead, creating our own energy. We import more…

This video of John McCain is truly incredible. The questioner asked whether insurers, who cover Viagra, should also cover birth control pills. The simple answer should have been that insurance companies should, indeed, cover birth control pills. Any organization that covers Viagra and Prozac (and vasectomies, much less surgery for…
