Self-proclaimed Vampire running for Minnesota Governor.
Normally, I’d find this amusing….
But the dipshit is running on the ticket of the “Vampyres, Witches and Pagans Party,” and says that if elected, will post “everything from the Ten Commandments to the Wicca Reed” in government buildings.
Great.
Just what we need….another self-proclaimed poster boy who will make us all look like nutjobs.
“Sharkey also pledged to execute convicted murders and child molesters personally by impaling them on a wooden pole outside the state capitol.”
Well at least he can use the “soft on crime” label against ANY opponent.
“Sharkey told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he’s a vampire ‘just like you see in the movies and TV.'”
Ah-ha! Garlic, crosses, holy water, stake through the heart and everyday sunlight will take care of this poseur.
Seems everyone’s posting about this guy, so the ‘nutjob’ damage is already done. That being the case, were I American, I’d think about voting for him just to see what happened next…
As a PS: the story made the papers in Australia.
“I’m a satanist who doesn’t hate Jesus,” Sharkey told Reuters. “I just hate God the Father.”
Great, know all the Jesus-crispies will believe that they’re right about us. Because of course we witches are all in league with the devil. I wonder if anyone mentioned to this guy that as a Satanist he can’t really run on a Witch’s ticket as, by definition, we don’t even *believe* in the devil, let alone follow him. Dumb fuckstickassclowndickweasal, thanks for undermining all the (extremely limited) progress we’ve made. Appreciate it, man.
Totally off the subject: Red told me you were wanting to work with JC at Heartland this year. Send me your e-mail address and I’ll forward you the next meeting date. Basically, just show at the meeting and then you can talk to him about what is needed. The meeting is in Feb, but finding the exact date would involve me clicking on more stuff than my lazy butt is inclined today.
rarely in my life have I laughed and cried at the same time. I don’t mean laughing so hard i’m crying… i mean that the two emotions are warring so heavily that both laughter and tears burst from my face.
hysterical. in both meanings of the word.
Somebody needs to send a slayer after this guy.

Thanks….JC talked to me a bit about it at the party they threw before NYE, but he was so drunk that I doubt he’ll remember it.

At last, we find common ground. I feel my religion is just as well served by Pat Robertson.
I read that yesterday, and immediately cringed for all of my legit not-nutjob pagan friends, as this jackass is going to be what Mom and Pop Minnesota think of now when “Pagan” comes up.
My recent trip back to MN over Kate’s winter break reminded me of just what it’s like in the heartland. My parents have never had any non-white friends, never known any out-of-the-closest gays, never known any Jews let alone any pagans.
Minnesota is a strange state. They can elect Jesse Ventura and they can elect Paul Wellstone.
I think the problem is that anyone who even has the desire to run for office and be in the spotlight these days has to be a nutjob… no matter what their belief system is. Fer feck’s sake all people individually believe some pretty nutty things…
