Kinda Like eHarmony for Politics

Guess who my Candidate Match for 2008 is? According to The Candidate Calculator, it is none other than

Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (R)
90.74% match


They matched us up on 29 dimensions... I mean issues. Tom is actually tied with Fred Thompson at 90.74%. Followed by Mitt Romney and Sam Brownback. Since Tom and Fred are tied I would probably vote for Tom. Why? Because Fred has called me every single day since he announced he was running. Really.

My guess is he is looking for money. Sorry Fred but I don't have any. But I wish I had a dollar for everytime he and Newt Gingrich have called me. I wonder if Tom will start calling me.

13 Things About Dane Bramage

13 Answers from the 100 Question Meme

Well I thought it would be a good idea to let people get to know me a little more. So I am going to answer the first 13 questions in the "100 Questions" meme. And the next time a Wednesday rolls around and I realize I don't have a Thursday Thirteen done, I'll answer the next 13 questions!

  1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
    My Siamese cat Mr. Murphy bit me on the nose.

  2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
    Which room? This one has grease, dust, and splatters of undeterminable substances.

  3. WHAT DOES YOUR CELL PHONE LOOK LIKE?
    Like this! DUH!Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

  4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?
    I have an eclectic taste in music. I like jazz, classical, R&B, gospel and some forms of rock.

  5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
    I don't remember. It was kind of hectic with all the screaming and the slapping going on.

  6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
    About four thousand dollars. That would catch me up with everything.

  7. WHO DO YOU MISS?
    My best friend. I miss talking to him.

  8. WHAT'S YOUR MIDDLE NAME?
    That is open to debate. Officially on my birth certificate it is Jessio. But it is supposed to be Jessenio according to my late father.

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer

  10. THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO?
    Niquiesha, my niece.

  11. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
    No.

  12. THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE YOU CRY?
    My Pastor. Sometimes his sermons touch a part of my soul and the tears just flow like a river.

  13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOGNE/PERFUME?
    Stetson. Although I have tried some Avon colognes for men that I like but they are a bit pricey.

There you have it. Thirteen tiny glimpses into me. Although officially I answered questions 1 through 15. It appears that the two different sources I used for the questions both omitted # 8 and #9. If you know what they are suppose to be let me know.

Ah Fall in Ohio

It will be officially Autumn soon and the signs are everywhere. This morning at 8:00 I left to take the kids to school and had to run the heater/defrost in my car. At 9:00 I left for work and had to run the air conditioner.

I guess another sign of late summer early fall are these beauties which I captured with my camera phone.





These Hibiscus Syriacus have volunteered themselves into my yard. The Rose of Sharon as it is also called blooms in late summer with these large flowers. The plant depicted in the first picture was murdered by my neighbor. For no reason whatsoever she pulled it and trashed it one morning. She didn't say anything about it. I just notice it laying in my driveway amongst the weedy debris of her garden as I was going to work. I seem to be surrounded by nutjobs.

13 Things That Some Say Are True

Well I have been gone for awhile. I have some home issues that are unraveling as we speak, so to speak. Anyway my good friend Scott who has never let me down or disappointed me or failed to have my back has stepped up to the plate again. This time he emailed me some things you should know. The claim is that these are true and I have my doubts but being lazy I won't verify each item. Instead you can tell me if you ever heard such a thing. So here we go!

  1. Because metal was scarce during WWII the Oscars given out were made of wood Sounds plausible, and Hollywood was a little better in those days. I'm just glad they didn't call them the Woodys.

  2. There are no clocks in Las Vegas gambling casinos. I've heard this before but don't know and don't care.

  3. The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan; there was never a recorded Wendy before. Wow wouldn't that be cool if it were true. And yet there hasn't been a mad rush to name little boys Frodo.

  4. Leonardo Da Vinci invented scissors as well as taking 10 years to paint Mona Lisa's lips. 10 years to paint the Mona Lisa maybe but just the lips? I am not buying it. I do believe the scissors thing. The man practically invented everything.

  5. Any tiny amount of alcohol on a scorpion will make it instantly go mad and sting itself to death. So if you drink booze, you won't get scorpions. Okay wrong joke but we don't have scorpions here in Ohio so I can't have Dave test it out.

  6. If you have 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies, you have $1.19, which is the largest amount of coins you can have and not make change for a dollar. Oh my brain hurts! So you can have up to $1.19 in coins and not make change for a dollar. Someone had too much time on their hands.

  7. By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you can't sink in quicksand. Has anyone tried this? Do you want to? Anyway I think Mythbusters pretty much disproved the whole sink to your doom in quicksand thing.

  8. The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English Law, which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb. That would explain why this guy's blushing bride went screaming for the hills.Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
  9. Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has to begin with. Smear some diet peanut butter on it and you will chew yourself into oblivion.

  10. Money isn't made out of paper; it's made out of cotton. So Money still doesn't grow on trees but it does grow on plants and you need gin to process it. Gin. Cotton Gin. Get it? Oh come on people I've been gone a long time.

  11. The dot over the letter "i" is called a tittle So what is the dot over the j called?

  12. A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top. Believable behavior for anyone forced to swim in a pool of their own liquefied ancestors.

  13. The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper. That explains why we have the joint chiefs.

Well there you go. Another Thursday Thirteen put to bed. Like I said these were all things that people have said are true. Can you provide conclusive proof one way or another? Thanks again to my good friend Scott who is too busy to blog(dig). In gratitude I would like to chop your feet into shoes. photochop that is. I may need replacements for Dave's above. Its an honor. Really!

I Voted Today- NOT!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

For the last month or so there have been reminders all over town to "REMEMBER TO VOTE ON SEPTEMBER 11TH". Well I remembered and went to the polling place this morning. I showed my proper I.D. I was a amazed at the huge notice declaring that poll workers would not ask for positive proof of citizenship. Made me wonder how many illegals were voting. But that's a subject for another post. I was all set to cast my ballot when the worker looked at me and said;
Sir, you are registered as a Republican. This is a Democratic election. You can still vote if you want to but you have to change your party affiliation.
Ha! Nice try comrade. Okay I should have known something was up it being only September but I wasn't sure if there were some special issues that needed addressed or what. I wanted to be safe rather than sorry. Besides you think with all the bazillion reminder signs about voting today, at least one would have mentioned Democrats Only.
I plead insanity. My life has been crazy and I thought it would be over by now (my situation not my life) but the drama continues.
