Matt Damon is in trouble. Kind of. His father is an actor and his mother is a teacher so he comes from bonafide, world champion Hollywood, California type liberal stock.

Kind of like what I'm doing right now because Matt Damon rubs me the wrong way and frankly I don't care what happens to him. This was written for you. Not me.
