A vampire is running for governor of Minnesota:

Honesty is very seldom heard nowadays, especially from a politician. So, I am going to break from political tradition. My name is Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey, Ph.D., L.D.D.D. I am a Satanic Dark Priest, Sanguinarian Vampyre and a Hecate Witch. My Magikal Path name is: Lord Ares.

I despise and hate the Christian God the Father. He is my enemy.

Here's a news article:

"The common misconception is that (vampires) are 100 percent evil, that they do not have any caring in them -- that they kind of, like, prowl in the night seeking their meals, and that's not true," Sharkey explained.

Voters have nothing to fear from him, he says -- only bad guys such as murders, rapists and terrorists, whom he promises to personally execute on the State Capitol lawn.

"I think after the first impaling, it will send a message to terrorists not to attack my people," Sharkey said.

If you truely were who you claim to be...You'd be better about NOT flaunting it. People like you make my kind sick. We don't need this kind of ignorant attention. You're making us look bad.

rod, have you been going around impersonating Umberto Eco again?
