March 14, 2007 (metro.co.uk) - The American Secret Service have launched an investigation into one of the candidates for the presidency in 2008 - after he pledged that as President, one of his first acts would be to impale President George W. Bush.

The candidate in question is Jonathon 'The Impaler' Sharkey, and he is running as the only self-described satanic vampire candidate who has so far entered the 2008 race.

Sharkey's pledge to impale President Bush, he makes clear, will only come into effect if he is actually elected to office.

But that has still triggered action by the Secret Service, who say they have a duty to investigate any threats against the president. Sharkey, 42, says that agents from the service visited him at home with his 19-year-old wife, Spree, to investigate his impaling pledge.

Sharkey told The Columbia Chronicle about the visit: 'They were telling me, when they were interrogating me, that their job was to protect Bush even after he's out of office. I'm looking at them like, "Oh, you're going to defy me when I become president?"'

Sharkey previously ran for President in 2004, and has run for Congress several time, occasionally as a Republican.

Darrin Blackford, a spokesman for the Secret Service, disagreed that the investigation was an over-reaction: 'Unfortunately, in our line of work, we can't take that chance.'

But a legal expert is unsure if a case could be made against The Impaler. 'Under the First Amendment, what it boils down to here is whether or not he's a vampire who wants to impale the president,' law professor Neil Richards of Washington University in St. Louis told the Chronicle.

'I guess the question is, if he's a vampire, why is he the one staking people? Shouldn't he want to bite the president and feed on him?' added Richards, describing these questions as 'perhaps further evidence that this is not a true threat.'

Sharkey, meanwhile, seems unconcerned about the investigation. If anything, he feels that the Secret Service may not be taking him seriously enough.

'They never even asked to see my impaling stick,' he complained.

A Bloody Embrace

for centuries I've searched
wandered the beaten path
been led astray..and for what?
Who would dare deny the vampire's immortal kiss?
a sacred embrace
I will hold the colour of your eyes when no other remembers your name
your legacy written in my heart

Throughout the ages, attacks on people have been attributed to supernatural creatures like werewolves and vampires, but in 1886, a German neurologist named Richard von Krafft-Ebing noted the compulsive and sexual presentation of the attacks. He wrote about them in Psychopathia Sexualis, and many of his 238 case histories concerned a violent eroticism triggered by blood.

Love...Hate!

Life, death, love and hate! The stars alone tell the stone cold truth!

We all live a short time here and before you know it it is to late!

Darkness falls and bugs crawl! Soon to have a feast!

Suns up! Skins burning, cover up cover up or you'll be crisp!

Lovers here lovers now sweet hatred it can be!

Is this a world full of people or is all this a sick spoof?

At night you hear the spirits warn you! You hear the world stop and then there before you is the beast.

Lost in Transylvania

May 12, 2007 (The Guardian / Gavin Bell) -- Mati the blacksmith was worried. A Romanian gypsy, he was usually in lively good humour, but today he was distraught. Recently men from a television company had come to his village, offering to install satellite dishes for free, and his daughter had taken one. Now he had been sent a bill for renting it, and he didn't have the money - or a television. His daughter had gone to work in Hungary and taken it with her. So he feared the worst. Would the police take him to prison?
