The Devil Made Him Do It
Author: Lavanya Ramanathan Source: Washington Post
Title: THE DEVIL MADE HIM DO IT
Having Jesse Ventura as your governor is one thing. But a cloak-wearing vampire and Satanic priest?
In January 2006, Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey, a former wrestler himself, announced that he was running for governor of Minnesota. On the Vampyres, Witches and Pagans ticket, naturally.
"Impaler" is W. Tray White's new, full-length documentary about the brief candidacy of the vampire politician, who didn't let others dig up the skeletons in his closet so much as put all his blood-sucking, God-rejecting ways out there for the world to see. In the film, shot over eight months, Sharkey's wife, family and others offer glimpses into the enigma that is Sharkey.

Old news, and not even well written. Anyone notice that in the middle of this "news article", the author makes a stab at Sharkey's chosen religion -- and seems to simutaneously denounce all non-Christians as "God-rejecting"?
That doesn't seem at all impartial. Not at all.

Oh who doesn't occasionally feel like running for public office after becoming a satanic vampire? Aren't the two things pretty similar...?

All the ex-wrestlers don't have to just try to be governor of Minnesota. They can branch out into other states. I think they'd have just as good an idea of how to run things as some of the people doing it now, and in many cases probably would be better than what is in place now. I'm all for whatever hook will get better people into office.
