   Ms. Ehrenreich cites a study suggesting that a dismal worldview “can be healthier in the long run than optimism and happiness” because pessimists may take fewer risks and seem “less likely to fall into depression following a negative life event.”

   It reminds me of the old saying: An optimist can never be pleasantly surprised.

   I found it humorous that the reviewer appropriated a Southern accent to demonstrate the Derb’s disdain for the “Feddle Gummint.” I was expecting something more sardonic and British; perhaps she was unfamiliar with his background?
