IN THIS EDITION OF LESSER KNOWN LOONS, WE TAKE A LOOK AT SOMEONE LIVING AMONGST US NOW. HE CLAIMS TO BE A VAMPIRE, A SATANIST AND, OF COURSE, A WRESTLER. HE HAS RAN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE IN THE PAST AND IS LOOKING TO DO SO AGAIN.
CAN JONATHON "THE IMPALER" SHARKEY COUNT ON YOUR VOTE?
Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey (1964 - ) is a self-proclaimed satanist, "sanguinary vampyre", Hecate Witch and professional boxer as well as wrestler (under the name Rocky "Hurricane" Flash) and perennial candidate for public office. He has filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for President of the United States twice as an Independent candidate (in 2004 and in 2008) and for Congress in at least three states -- his home State of New Jersey (1999-2000, Republican), Indiana (Reform Party, 2000) and Florida (2001-02, Republican). In 2006, he ran for governor of Minnesota.
Sharkey lived for a time in Florida under his wrestling name of Rocky Hurricane Flash. While there, he also used the assumed name Kathleen Sharkey and claimed that this Kathleen Sharkey was either his half-sister or his wife. He filed reports with the Federal Election Commission which listed Kathleen Sharkey as a member of his campaign staff. Eventually, a letter was filed with the Federal Election Commission, purportedly by Kathleen Sharkey, which implied that he had died.
Documents from a lawsuit filed in the Indianapolis District Court mention that Sharkey attempted to commit suicide. It has been suggested instead that he attempted to fake his own death. The Vampires, Witches, and Pagans Party was founded by Sharkey in 2005. It is officially recognized by United States Federal Election Committee, although there is little evidence of any membership or activity other than two persons.
The Party advocates protection of the religious beliefs and political advancment of individuals identifying themselves as vampires, witches, pagans, demons, Satanists, Wiccans, and those professing similar lifestyles and religious views. An independently produced documentary about Sharkey, Impaler, debuted in Australia on February 9, 2007. His latest project is online: Jonathon "The Impaler" For President 2008

Damn bloody blogger bloody....damn. 4 times I started a comment, wrote it all nicely...and then *BAM* nothing but a pretty error message. Why am I even writing this? It probably wont even damn well go through!
Bloody typical. Now it works.
That's the way it usually goes, Sy. Computers, the internet and all the rest that goes with it isn't worth a crap. Sometimes you'll find the solution to those error messages in 5 seconds or 5 days or never ever never.
