Overrated Optimism: The Peril of Positive ThinkingThen you get the byline:

Americans have long prided themselves on being "positive" and optimistic — traits that reached a manic zenith in the early years of this millennium. Iraq would be a cakewalk! The Dow would reach 36,000! Housing prices could never decline! Optimism was not only patriotic, it was a Christian virtue, or so we learned from the proliferating preachers of the "prosperity gospel," whose God wants to "prosper" you.Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....The TWXSTERS really should stick to
animated cartoons.
