Peakah's Provocations...

MORA, Minn. - A fringe candidate for governor who played up his satanic side- and pledged public impalement for terrorists- wound up behind bars Tuesday thanks to a sharp-eyed sheriff's dispatcher.

Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey, 41, of Princeton was arrested Monday night on two felony counts from Indiana, said Mike Smith, the Mille Lacs County jail administrator. One warrant was for escape, another for stalking.

Sharkey launched his campaign last month under the banner of the Vampyres, Witches and Pagans party. His platform includes an emphasis on education, tax breaks for farmers and better benefits for veterans, but he also said he favored impaling certain wrongdoers in front of the State Capitol.
