Everybody is on Santorum's jock for winning a couple of votes tonight but you know what? Newt's the wiser. I'm seeing a trend of Gingrich not giving a hoot for any primary where there are no party delegates being committed, but he's been in the fight in most caucuses where delegates are at stake. He's going for committed delegates to the GOP convention and giving the beauty contests a cold shoulder.
****
Make that a fat, ugly cold shoulder because let's face it the man is not winning any beauty contests.
****
N.B. yet another pair of races where the Not-Romney won. That guy stinks for a candidate which is why the leftist press wants so badly for him to be the nominee. The left wants you to pick a guy, and you agree, how dumb are you?

Jensen KDC9520 AM/FM/CD/Cassette 1-1/2 DIN Car Stereo Head Unit
Sold!
This is a Jensen KDC9520 Stereo CD Receiver with an audio cassette player built in. It is 1-1/2 DIN which is great if you need it, and doesn't look like laser rocketships. It works great. There are a few very minor cosmetic blemishes you have to be looking close to find.
Please click on any picture to see it 4x higher resolution
IF you just want the face plate, I will knock ten bucks off the price and recycle the head unit for you.
This was purchased new, by me, and used only in a non-smoking (my) automobile. I pulled this radio from my Dodge when I sold it but my new car took a different size head unit. This has been sitting on a shelf in my shop. I tested it to make sure it's still working before I took the photos for this sale.
I like a radio that doesn't scream "I'm expensive and fancy, steal me!" if you want leave the face attached when you park the car. This one fills that bill, and in the dark it could pass for a normal came-with-the-car radio. It has a nice green backlight that is easy to see when you're driving without being too bright. Note the lights to show you where to insert your CD or Tape.
With the face detached:
One VERY nice feature of the wiring is that all the wires are clearly labeled and dramatically different colors. I never used the Remote turn-on or RCA outputs, but they're there if you have an external amp you want to use. The black box is a power filter. The wiring harness is removable.
The backsides look almost as clean as the front:
There are a few minor cosmetic blemishes but I was looking hard in bright light to find them so I could show you:
A couple on the body, mostly on the bottom front lip
And a few on the faceplate. There are some shallow scratches on the display, and a few scuffs elsewhere. I don't know what's up with the texture on the font of the up/down/left/right control, but I did notice it helps work the knob with just a fingertip.
The data plate/wiring legend:
When you first start the car, the volume setting is displayed both with a number and on the graph on the right side. This prevented me blasting myself out many, many many times because you can turn it down while the radio is waking up. It beeps when you push a button. I mostly tuned this out except when I was operating the radio while looking at the road, in which case it is a nice feature.
The manual for this head unit is available free, from voxxsupport.com (click here for .pdf file)

What Goes Up, Dead Cat Edition
Long-time readers will recall that the current state of our national economy is described by experts* as "in the middle of a Dead Cat Bounce." It can be hard to make that point to people when the President is cheerleading a falling unemployment rate** but here it is in chart form:
Gasoline, that people use to get to work and back, is statistically off a cliff.
Yeah, and?
Some people might say the reason people use less gas in this extreme is that people are losing their jobs and/or stopping working in huge numbers . . . regardless of the unemployment rate published by somebody looking to get re-elected this year.
********
* that would be me
**fewer workers in the labor force = lower unemployment rate. More people by tens of millions but fewer counted "workers" than there were a decade ago. Lower unemployment just like that.

I Sometimes Wonder (as I wander)
If our first parents (Adam/Eve) had obeyed the only rule they were given, would it hurt when a baby's first set of teeth came through the gums? If our mouths were not about to spend a lifetime of speaking vanities against our Creator, would it hurt as they were forming teeth?
Down With The Sickness
In addition to pushing at least 6 teeth at one time, #4 is also down with a yellowboogers cold, too, I think. #3 is also pretty stuffed up; I stayed home from church with both of them.
I think they got it from me and I felt better a couple days after the one worst day so here's hoping.
Thanks God for over the counter meds.
P.S., parenting pro tip: if it's almost nap time and benadryl is starting to kick in and your baby suddenly starts acting tired . . . put him to bed! Don't wait for the moment to pass. They'll be up and out of sorts for a while after they perk up again.

Ignorance Is Bliss
I know a guy who just bought a new $1k+ camera. He handed it to a guy who started making a rapid series of snapshots of nothing in particular, and freaked out a little bit. Didn't this other guy know? These cameras are like your heart: they work only so many times, and then they stop. The number of times they will work is so long something else will probably happen before it stops, so most people never worry about it. It works out to cost something like a dime every time you make a photograph, if the shutter on this new camera lives up to its rated life - and most live at least that long. Well this guy with the new camera squeezes all the blood out of even the smallest turnip - and he was not amused at this waste of shutter life!
I was going through the photos on our new camera just now. It is an older version of the same type of camera, and also has a limited (large) number of exposures it will be able to make before dying. I noticed a bunch of shots in a row were all blurred and overexposed, and asked my Darling Wife about them. She had no idea how the camera was set, she was just being silly snapping away at the Zoo. Not a care in the world about camera life, but having a good time making pictures - no matter how they came out.
Sometimes it is amazing to consider the variety of people one knows, even in little details like this which mean basically nothing in the Big Picture.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!
Everybody knows (or should) that one of the main risk factors for "getting AIDS" is being a homersexual. One of the fun side effects of AIDS is affectionately referred to by cancer doctors as Oral Plasmablastic Lymphoma. It's cancer, your MOUTH, that pretty much is a death sentence within 6 months.
Let's see, what do queers do with their mouths that might call for some specific judgement from God . . . hmmm . . .
. . .nope, can't think of anything! Oh well, nevermind then.

Madness at Work: Halfway Cute, Not All There . . .
We have a new cleaning crew at work to replace Cleaning Buddy. They are all just as fat as CB, except one girl on the crew who is about normal-sized (NS). I was on the way to the restroom to drain the lizard when . . .
NS (standing 2 feet from restroom door)
IT Buddy (goes from his office, around NS, into restroom
NS (waits a few seconds, pushes open bathroom door, sees ITB's back, exits bathroom)
NS (sees VFD, smiles sheepishly)
VFD (goes into restroom, into 2nd stall, commences to piss like a racehorse into the toilet)
ITB (finishes business, washes up, exits)
NS (enters bathroom)
VFD (still sounding like a fire hose down there)
NS (replaces urinal cake in 1st stall, flushes urinal, turns off lights)
VFD: Hey! Hello!
NS (exits)
VFD: Hello?
VFD (finishes business, exits restroom in the frikken dark already)
WTH?

Dead . . . over SOCCER?
In Egypt, apparently it is bad for your health to go see a soccer match. A THOUSAND or so people got a little sideways and started whipping up on each other after a game. The dead included some of the police that tried to get the crowd to stop fighting.
Of all the things not worth getting killed (or even upset) over . . . soccer is high on my list. Fail, people. Fail.

Huge Victory for Human Rights
Indiana just became the latest state to stop requiring people to pay to join an organization that is not aligned with them politically and from which they derive no direct benefit, just to get a job.
Good.
Good.
