Haven't you ever seen a parent tell their kid to "laugh it off" after they fall and hurt themselves? Same kinda' thing. Divert their attention from the shittiness, and try to put a smile on their face.

It's always better to laugh than cry.
I agree with you totally on this. Then again, what do you expect from the great liberal spin.
