Not cranky enough
I feel the "malaise", brother. I feel it!! Flickering lights - - I remember when Ronald Reagan came on the scene. I was depressed about the "malaise" I had brought upon the country, or so Jimmy Carter told me once in the last fireside chat before Reagan swept him out of office. Reagan didn't have TIME for flickering lights and malaise! Democrats gain and keep power with negativity and class warfare. The city on the hill is shining bright! I still hear Reagan.
