Jonathan "The Impaler" Sharkey's Vampyre Girlfriend Fired From Job... As Schoolbus Driver

He's wearing a suit now, which he considers more "gubernatorial" than a throw-carpet.

Black witch pink-slipped:

News traveled fast Friday when Sharkey announced he was a vampyre and he wants to be Minnesota's next governor. Just hours after the Friday news conference, Sharkey's girlfriend learned she was losing her job as a school bus driver.

On Saturday she tearfully read from the letter the Princeton School District gave her employer, Peterson Bus. The letter says, "It is our opinion that Ms. Carpenter does not serve as a role model, nor is suitable to provide transportation services for the Princeton School District, in light of recent media reports of her husband/friend to be a vampyre who is running for public office, and Ms. Carpenter informing other bus garage employees that she is a witch."

I always am conflicted about these things. On one hand, people have a right to have their own political views and odd lifestyle choices without being persecuted for them. On the other hand, especially in jobs dealing with children, some hobbies and pursuits just seem too bizarre to expose kids to.

Has anyone ever really considered a bus driver a role-model, by the way?
