But CIGNA has been blocking me from getting testing and treatment for two years, while...Read Full Story

(Steven Hayward) Courtesy of The Hill (and an Instapundit link), the following ad from MoveOn.org was rejected for the 2004 Super Bowl because it was “too political.” But they miss the obvious irony here: watch it all the way to the end (it’s only 30 seconds long), and ask yourself if MoveOn.Org would run this ad today. (In fact, it looks a lot like one of the runners-up in the Power Line
