Yes. Or consult a oija board or channel their inner light with crystals or hang owl guts on a thornbush on a full moon.
Which was it, Leno or Carson?

Yeah, well I have this funny idea that you save time and grief by not falling prey to a con-artist for even a second.
I'm an equal-opportunity head shrinker. First time I saw Clinton was when he and Hillary appeared on 60 Minutes in '91 or '92 to do damage control on the Jennifer Flowers fallout. I'm thinking these people are clearly lying through their teeth. It was obvious -- the exaggerated "Whattt??? Us?? Oh no, nothing like that goin' on with li'l ol' us."
Likewise w/ Carter in '76. Didn't trust that forced, worried smile. Genuine people, like John McCain, smile when a smile comes up spontaneously from some genuine mirth or pleasure. Carter's smile was too everpresent and forced (am I getting over, Roslyn?). I voted for Ford. I trusted his realness. Pardoning Nixon was the right thing to do. His wings had been seriously clipped already. Time to move-on. The people who wanted Nixon's head should have asked themselves why they voted him into office twice, resoundingly the second time. I never trusted the guy further than I could spit. What a bizarre personality -- layers upon layers of conniving.
I guess it's halfway agreed upon that the pardon cost Ford the election.
Odd that I would like Ford. Who knows? Why do we like some faces but not others? It's not just a matter of attractiveness, most of the time. People who spend a lot of mental energy on how they can put one over on someone often have a kind of buzz to their face, very little relaxation. Honest, big hearted people who make their own way tend to inspire trust and affection much more readily. Hence, we like one face and not so much another.
Why do you suppose that is?
Oh, as for the badaboom originator, it was Robert Carson, a radio personality from the 40s.
