America, Leader of the World
Leading the modern western world back to the dark ages.
The American Museum of Natural History can't find a single corporate sponsor for it's Darwin exhibit. And apparently American Big Media can't find it to cover the story:

http://www.smh.com.au/news/arts/evolving-into-a-tricky-exhibit/2005/11/21/1132421603091.html
That said, I must point out that maybe it is not a political issue at all but maybe the corporate donors saw the recent hyped dinosaur exhibit at AMNH and were as underwhelmed as I was so, you know, just couldn't be inspired to kick in some money.
But somehow I doubt that's the explanation....
