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.
