This is funny, yet so creepy:

"The Mice Come Out Ahead. Although the plot of ''Who Moved My Cheese?'' centers on two tiny, maze-dwelling, cheese-dependent people named Hem and Haw, there are also two subsidiary characters, both mice. When the cheese is moved, the tiny people waste time ranting and raving ''at the injustice of it all,'' as the book's title suggests. But the mice just scurry off to locate an alternative cheese source. They prevail, we learn, because they ''kept life simple. They didn't overanalyze or overcomplicate things.'' In the mysteriously titled ''QBQ! The Question Behind the Question,'' we are told that questions beginning with ''who'' or ''why'' are symptoms of ''victim thinking.'' Happily, rodents are less prone to it than humans. That may be why we never learn the identity of the Cheese Mover; the who-question reveals a dangerous human tendency to ''overanalyze,'' which could lead you to look upward, resentfully, toward the C-suites where the true Masters of the Universe dwell. "

From a story about wack-ass business self-help books in the NYT, by Barbara Ehrenreich.

Be like the mice!!! Do not question authority!!! George W. Bush is the avatar of the Lord!!!

Shudder.
