Lord of the Brad

Jersey City, New Jersey, December 19, 2008:

Police are investigating after a man leaving his house on Thursday morning found a frozen pig head stuck on top of a pole next to a tree in his yard.

Former presidential candidate Ron said the sight terrified his roommate Brad.

"Damn thing spooked Brad...he ran back inside crying," Ron said. "Now I have to go to the bar alone."

Jersey City Police Sgt. Jim Watson said evidence suggests the head had been there just a few hours. Watson said if the person who left the head is caught, he could be charged with misdemeanor disturbing the peace.

Ron said his yard has been a target for vandalism and theft in the past but that he's not worried about incident.

"These [people] just want a piece of what I got," said Ron, who lost the 2000, 2004, and 2008 presidential elections by enormous margins. "It's probably just some [people] trying to ride my coattails...I get it all the time."

Ron has not announced whether he plans to run again in 2012.
