Republican vampire Jonathon Sharkey has issued a challenge to Robert Pattinson.
I hope you will print this response to The Hollywood Reporter’s story that Twilight Vampyre Wannabe Robert Pattinson is related to Vlad Tepes Dracula.
…
Personally if that boy thinks he’s from Vlad’s bloodline, then let him prove it, in the way Vlad would… On a field of battle! As the US Secret Service will attest, I am Vlad to the bone. Unlike Pattinson, I am a warrior and a true Vampyre.
If he truly wants to prove his Vlad heritage, then I challenge him to face me on a field of battle. Let see which one of us is “VLAD TO THE BONE!” Not a Hollywood pretty boy!

Do Svidaniya,
Nel Sangue,
Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey (R)
Presidential Candidate

Colorado’s own Gary Brooks Faulkner is a lunatic criminal who went to Pakistan to hunt down Osama bin Laden. He was arrested with a gun, a sword, and night-vision goggles. He claims he got within shooting distance of his target.
“How does one go about trying to find Osama bin Laden?” asked the interviewer.
“You don’t. You let the spirit guide you and unless you have the spirit of God, not the Mother Mary or some Mohammad or something like that. God almighty has to put his hand on you. I’ve been protected,” Faulkner said.
From Wonkette: Rory Reid is running for governor of Nevada. He’s also Harry Reid’s son. Of course, that is a sticky association, what with all the resentment against the national Democratic party. So what is Rory Reid’s solution? His website rory2010.com is conspicuously shy about mentioning his last name. The site content consistently refers to him as just Rory. Like some kind of cartoon character. Check it out. It’s weird.
In the 17th century, Robert Boyle made a wish list. Because he didn’t ask for hover cars, most of his wishes have come true.

American John Isner (pictured) and Frenchman Nicolas Mahut are stuck at 58-59 in the longest tennis match ever, spanning three days and nearly ten hours. Wimbledon really needs a way to deal with ties. Update: They need a third day.
