Vampyre to run for Minnesota Governor

[koren808]

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. <br>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. <br><br>"I'm going to be totally open and honest,'' said the 41-year-old leader of the "Vampyres, Witches and Pagans Party.'' <br><br>"Unlike other candidates, I'm not going to hide my evil side,'' he said. <br><br>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. <br><br>Sharkey raises the bar. For one thing, he told the Star Tribune in an e-mail that he drinks blood. <br><br>Including 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. <br><br>Sharkey said he worships Lucifer and, while he says he has nothing against Christians, he calls the "Christian God the Father'' his "mortal enemy.'' <br><br>Sharkey said he was injured during a parachute jump with the Army in 1982 and receives veterans' disability benefits. <br><br>He has not yet registered as a gubernatorial candidate, but he has already filed as a candidate for the 2008 presidential election. <br><br>-- <br><br>On the Net: <br><br>Jonathon Sharkey for Governor:<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.jonathonforgovernor.us/Home_page.html" target="top">www.jonathonforgovernor.us/Home_page.html</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p>-------------------<br><br>Catholics have churches, fat people have Wisconsin, and I have the Pawtucket Patriot brewery.- Peter Griffin</p><i></i>

It appears that he was not wearing a helmut during his parachute jumping days.<br><br>But he and Jesse seem to have similar views on religion. Remember our former Gov's comment that he thought religion was for thr "weak minded".<br><br>Well Jesse, we've got plenty of that going around now.....dontcha think? <p></p><i></i>
