My comment on Gramm declaring the nation's economic funk to be psychosomatic (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/18/politics/main4274788.shtml):

"The problem's all inside your head," he said to me.
"The picture is rosy if you think positively
So just ignore all that bad news you think you see
There must be fifty ways to stop your whining."

He said, "It's really just a problem with your mood
(If you don't like that message, I'll just say it's misconstrued)
But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being booed
There must be fifty ways to stop your whining.
Fifty ways to stop your whining."

Just go to the mall, Paul
Get a new job, Bob
You don't need to be sad, Brad
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
Gas prices won't hurt much
Just write a few checks, Tex
And have a nice spree
