Minnesota is funny.

Satanist runs for governor in Minnesota

Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Jonathan Sharkey prefers to be known as "the Impaler".

Like other politicians, he worships Satan, but Sharkey "doesn't hide his dark side." He claims to speak for the "Vampyres, Witches and Pagans," political party, and most likely does so in a scary-monster voice. He promises that if he's elected, he will impale terrorists on pikes.

Of all the photos on Mr. Sharkey's candicacy website, this is my favorite. The sword says "forceful," the white home siding and unkempt grass says "America," and the long hair and Celtic batik wrap say "Rock and Roll, hoochie coo." That's my kind of overlord. Oh, and happy Friday the Thirteenth!

Reader comment: Dustin says,
Looks like Sharkey's got a myspace profile. From the looks of things, our dark governor-to-be needs our support! Link

I sent a myspace friend request for The Tank. I hope Jonathan lets us into the Evil League of do-gooders.

Coulda swore I left a comment here... maybe I hit the wrong button... so confused and filled with shame I was.

I'm moving to Idaho.... the Gem State.... where they have a little something called pride.
