The morning Fox & Friends crowd think it’s fake.

“Those are human eyes and human teeth!” one said.

Well, don’t apes have long prominent incisors?

I google imaged ‘black macaque’ and there are lots of photos. The eyes are real but I don’t believe the teeth. The few photos with teeth all show huge major league fangs, top and bottom.

I think the teeth are photoshopped.

I love that picture -- he looks like Randi Weingartner! She makes faces too! But mostly she wants to "invest" the "over 3 trillion in public sector pension funds" in infrastructure. Isn't that funny!!?
