You know, I really, really tried to resist the urge to report on this story. You know, about the vampire who's running for governor of Minnesota as part the Vampyres, Witches and Pagan party? The one who was promising impalements for terrorists? Whose webpage mentions his devotion to the Dark Lord (no, not Karl Rove)? Who's so obnoxious that even the real vampires and witches are pointing out he's insane and disgusting? Funny as it is, there was just no way I could link this story to an edublog, of all things.
Then I saw that he'd been brought up on charges from Indiana of escape and stalking. The article mentions that part of his platform featured, "an emphasis on education," so I think we can now all agree that this has, officially, become a meaningless phrase.
Oh, and his wife? Recently got fired. From her job as a school bus driver. Apparently the powers-that-be decided she wasn't quite the ideal "role model" for kids. I feel for her, though. She's gotta figure out another way to raise money for bail.
