Vampire Governor and... Indiana
Topic: Indianapolis In the News
Posted: Fri, Feb 17, 2006 
At some point, someone probably passed around the link to you about Jonathon Sharkey, a self-proclaimed vampire and Satanist who, oddly enough, is/was/may-not-be running for governor in Minnesota. Part of his platform was his endorsement of impalement for terrorists outside the state house.
Which... you know... would probably go over pretty well considering the current political climate.
A few months go by and Jonathan fades from the public spotlight. I mean, what state doesn't have some nutjob trying to get into office? This nation has seen a chimp handler, wrestler and a barbarian as elected officials, so why not Vlad here? Well...
Sharkey surfaced again recently. This time he was being sought on stalking charges in Indianapolis! Apparently the would-be politician spent some time in the city and developed a ... relationship... of some kind. Details are sketchy and web searches reveal little.
But the stickler is that I run around in many different social circles, and I would have thought that among the miriad of geeks, freaks, goths, punks, dominatrixes, and democrats that I know, someone would have some information on this guy.
Not a one.
The best I got was "he looks familiar, maybe I saw him out at the clubs, but I can't really say". How disappointing! Even the local news is devoid of coverage. Sheesh. I'm really trying to follow this story, because, well, why not? If anyone has any information, let me know!

I'll bet the reason you can't find out any info is because they're protecting the privacy of the person he was stalking. I'm sure I wouldn't want any information like that to get out if I were being followed by a vampire governor.

Hmmm ... I thought they were all vampires to start with and I wasn't sure this was really news ... they sure seem to suck the life out of me. I've yet to see one in office that wasn't stalking my wallet. Indiana's current vampire is busy building a replica of Devils Tower out behind the Nipper Dome and I expect he'll soon be announcing a close encounter of the outer world kind to fund his next Junket to Japan ... or Australia.

This stupid ass and I mean stupid ass, is just a joke. He is not a vampire. He is just a fool who is nearing 40 and bored and just decided to try and get some attention. Period. End of story. No story.
