But what I can’t live with is not knowing what Sarah Palin thinks about dinosaurs.My concern probably would not have manifested itself had it not been vocalized by political pundit Matt Damon, who in an interview with Air America said, “I want to know if she thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago.” Upon hearing about the interview, I was first struck by the question of what ever happened to Ben Affleck.
