Speaking of that smarmy Stuart Smalley, did you know that years ago, Al Franken wrote a hilarious book based on his classically nasal, co-dependent, self-help group-addicted SNL character? As the King of Affirmations, in I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!, “Smalley” recommends repeating slogans like:

When I go home to visit my family, I will stay in a motel.

I am entitled to file for an extension on my income taxes!

Today I will laugh–at least once.

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt!

Amen, Brother Stu!

I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!
