Vampires

2006 was also athe year of the Vampire. We had a self-declared vampiric Gubernatorial candidate, who promised to imapale the bad guys , but forgot to clear up his own warrants first . (Needless to say, there will be a movie ) The so-called "Vampire of Odessa" was jailed for twice luring teens to her home, where she attacked them and drank their blood . There were random neck-biting attacks in England , and Russia . Even Jesus and Mary Magdalen were cast as vampires , giving the phrase "drink of my blood" a whole new meaning.
