Just figured out why the stock market was closed today. It was National Malaise Day.

Biden declared Thursday a national day of mourning in his proclamation first announcing Carter’s death last month, in which he praised the former president as “a man of character, courage, and compassion.”

The day of mourning coincides with Carter’s state funeral, which will be held at Washington National Cathedral and will feature eulogies from Biden and former President Gerald R. Ford, who died in 2006 but left a eulogy to be read for Carter, the New York Times reported.

Carter’s body has been lying in state at the Capitol since Tuesday, giving the public an opportunity to pay respects to the 39th U.S. president.

Jimmuh Carter's body lay In state for one whole month Now we're cartin' him for burial Oughta have been done at once

Well, they pumped him up with fluid So he didn't stink at all The funeral is now on.

Glory glory to stagflation petrol shortage 'round the nation Though the weather is quite nippy I have got my sweater on Now toss him in the ground!

The hostages are grandparents But some others have been nabbed Seven of them are Americans And near all of them are Joooos!

But Joe Biden is ok with that It's on his list of "to-do"s Dem screw ups keep marching on

Glory glory National Malaise once again The Veep keeps cackeling just like a laying hen But soon it's morning in America And all around the world Reagan's truth keeps marching on.

[Tell It Right]

Closing the stock market is a fitting tribute to Carter’s malaise economy.

I have never been able to decide which was more despicable... Jimmah’s “malaise” speech or Zero’s “bitter clinger” speech.

Yup. Fits like a glove.

lol - I kept checking the stock app on my phone and couldn’t figure out why the numbers weren’t changing… thought the app had crashed!

[Eleutheria5]

Same here! On both platforms where I have money tied up. I was royally PO’d, thought the data feed was on the blink or had been hacked.

[Jane Long]

LOL....against FReeper rules to change headlines....but, have to admit yours is funny.

[ChronicMA]

Carter died December 29th, today is only 11 days later.

[Eleutheria5]

Damn. There goes the first stanza of my ode.

[Obadiah]

The contrast between the treatment of Carter’s death and George HW Bush is staggering. Carter, a failed president, has been nearly defied, while they pretty much shoveled dirt on Bush’s grave and called it good.

Yeah, went to the post office to mail a package, a guy reminded me we had to mourn the Jewhating idiot who gave the Canal away.
