No, not Ben Stein in Expelled, nor Denyse O'Leary's latest crush.

On An Entirely Different Note: National Director of the KKK Thomas Robb blasts Expelled, refusing to let Ben Stein give Darwin credit for racism. And if anyone knows racism and evolution don't mix, it's the KKK. Read the comments on this post...
