Minnesota "Sucks"?
This has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! And it's for real! He chose today, Friday the 13th, to announce his intentions.
'Vampyre' Candidate Backs Public Impaling
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - One gubernatorial candidate in Minnesota is giving a whole new meaning to the "dark side'' of politics. A man who calls himself a satanic priest plans to run for governor on a 13-point platform that includes the public impaling of terrorists at the state Capitol building.
Jonathon Sharkey, also known as "The Impaler'', plans to launch his gubernatorial campaign on - when else? - Friday the 13th. He'll make the announcement in Princeton.
"I'm going to be totally open and honest,'' said the 41-year-old leader of the "Vampyres, Witches and Pagans Party.''
"Unlike other candidates, I'm not going to hide my evil side,'' he said.
In Minnesota, anyone who pays the $300 filing fee can get on the gubernatorial ballot and it seems that every year a few eccentric candidates make the rounds.
Sharkey raises the bar. For one thing, he told the Star Tribune in an e-mail that he drinks blood from his victims (currently his wife, Julie's).
Including the execution by the impaling of terrorists, rapists, drug dealers and other criminals, Sharkey's platform includes emphasis on education, tax breaks for farmers and better benefits for veterans.
Sharkey said he worships Lucifer and, while he says he has nothing against Christians, he calls the "Christian God the Father'' his "mortal enemy.'' He thinks that "God the Father" was a poor parent for allowing his son to be crucified.
Sharkey said he was injured during a parachute jump with the Army in 1982 and receives veterans' disability benefits.
He has not yet registered as a gubernatorial candidate, but he has already filed as a candidate for the 2008 presidential election.
I don't know about you (although I'm pretty sure I know what you're thinking....) but I think THIS GUY IS ON CRACK! The scary thing is, there are people stupid enough to vote for this guy...thankfully I'll be at college in a different state by this time, although I'll still send in my absentee ballot to vote against him!
