Fun fact: Arizona is the only place in the country where the state mine inspector is an elected position
Another fun fact: this is one of my favorite political ads of all time, straight out of 2014
Answers to frequent questions and comments about this post
Yes it's real
No it's not skyrim
No it's not talking about bats
Ian Kobe actually ran for office on a platform of clearing out actual folklore vampires from the copper mines
No he did not win
No Joe Hart never cleared out the vampire dens
Joe Hart is not the current mine inspector because he resigned and died of very old age shortly after so I guess he wasn't a vampire???
The new mine inspector has also not cleared out the vampire dens
Ian Kobe has not reappeared in our time of need
The children yearn for the mines
