Here's a song that I wrote a couple years ago and still play regularly. I think it is appropriate for the news shows today:

WHAT SHALL I WORRY ABOUT TODAY
By Mark Donham

What shall I worry about today, ID theft or gettin' blown away?
Global warming or football scores? How about never ending wars?

I wake up, 6 am, turn on the news,
Today, just like yesterday, I got the too much bad news blues
Too much bad news, blows my fuse

On the couch at my therapist, she advises that I find bliss
I ask how, she says, "good luck," and I get a bill for 200 bucks

Do I need a gun or should I run, deep into a cave
But Osama may be in there, or even a bear,
Is there anywhere left to be saved, to be safe,
Dangerous caves!

What shall I worry about today
Worry about worryin' too much, I'd say
I'm gonna take me a walk outside
Might as well, ain't no place to hide
and nows the time, while I'm still alive.
