Ron Paul Gives Up Hope For Lent

Ron Paul announced this morning that he will participate in Lent by giving up hope for the White House.

"Not being Catholic doesn't mean I can't participate in the holiday," he announced during a press conference outside his home.  "The idea behind Lent is giving up something we know we shouldn't be doing.  Whether you're a 35 year old man living in your parents' basement playing World of Warcraft instead of working, or a mother who dresses her daughter as Julia Robert's character from Pretty Woman and entering her into beauty contests, these are things that we like; but just have to let go," explained Paul, holding up pictures of both examples to emphasize his point.

"I've done a lot of soul searching, and decided that for me, I've got to give up hope for the White House," Paul sighed, holding up a photo of himself smiling.  "In the end, it's destructive to my soul to continue to lie to myself.  By letting go of these lies that I tell myself, I will then be able to communicate the truth to my supporters, being, I don't have a chance.  I'm just too crazy."

Paul then took questions from reporters.
