See this link for an amusing story about a new Jesse Ventura wanna-be:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2006/01/jeb-bush-and-satanic-vampire.html">cannonfire.blogspot.com/2...mpire.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>A self-proclaimed "Satanic Dark Priest" named Jonathan "the Impaler" Sharkey is an official candidate for governor of Minnesota. He's running on an anti-crime platform: <br><br>Sharkey also pledged to execute convicted murders and child molesters personally by impaling them on a wooden pole outside the state capitol.<br><br>Sharkey told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he's a vampire "just like you see in the movies and TV."<br><br>"I sink my fangs into the neck of my donor...and drink their blood," he said, adding that his donor is his wife, Julie.<br>I wonder if she wears a scarf to campaign events? <br><br>(Actually, most real-life blood aficionados don't partake from the neck. Don't ask me how I know this.)<br><br>Of course, many an election has attracted "fringe" candidates -- we had a boatload of 'em during the California recall -- but the Impaler has a genuinely interesting history as a Republican activist. According to his official site...<br><br>From 1988 to 1991, I was heavily active in the Union County Republican Party, and was elected a District Chairman.<br><br>From July 1992 until April 1996, I was very active in Hillsborough County (FL) Republican Party. I was elected as City Chairman for Temple Terrace in November 1992. In 1994, I was blessed to work on Jeb Bush's first campaign for Governor. Though Jeb did not win, he showed me the true meaning of a man of character.<br>Jeb Bush. Man of Character. Boy, those Satanists really do love to talk backwards.<br><br>This page allegedly shows Jeb Bush posing with the Impaler, along with a couple of paintings from hell. In an autobiographical piece on his turn to "the Dark Side," the Impaler refers to his former friendship with both Jeb and -- get this! -- George W. Bush, our current prez. <br><br>I can just picture W's mumbled reaction when he saw that web-page: "Ixnay on the end-fray, Jonny-boy..."<br><br>Before you become too worried about the Impaler, I should tell you that he once did a tour as a professional wrestler. The idea of a former wrestler becoming a governor is too absurd to contemplate.<br><br>My attempts to get responses from Garrison Keillor and Al Franken went unanswered. They were not in the room when I called out their names.<br><br>(Incidentally, I first learned of this oddity via the Covert History site.) <p></p><i></i>
