Cenk Uygur: The Silent Minority

There is a minority group in America that is a bigger percentage of the country than blacks or Hispanics. But they are often ignored or derided in public. Almost no politician would ever admit to being one. And they are given no voice in the public arena.

St. Louis – Daily RFT – Evolution T-Shirts on Trial in Missouri Town

On the T-shirt, monkeys and early humans hold trumpets throughout their various stages of evolution.
