It's totally absurd, and I don't understand why more people aren't talking about it, how absurd it is. It's a really terrifying possibility... I need to know if she really believes that dinosaurs existed 4,000 years ago. I need to know that, because she's going to have the nuclear codes.

Hmm. I don't normally pay much attention to what celebrities have to say about Presidential candidates during the election campaigns, and Matt Damon isn't a celebrity that I've cared much about. But he is soberly, bluntly making some observations and asking some questions that few other celebrities dare to make/ask. (No, I don't count the observations made and the questions asked on the Daily Show or on the Colbert Report, because the pointedness of those are blunted by bufoonery.)
EDIT: Hmm. The BBcode doesn't seem to be working, eventhough I followed the instructions given by Halx.
