As you know, Carson came from the middle of the country, when that was considered a good thing by those of us living on the coasts. Now it's labelled RED and the BLUES would rather be dead than...<br />A shame, how that perception has changed. My favorite shows were the ones where a fellow mid-American showed up, Calvin Trillin.
