Unemployed stealing from the unemployed

Yesterday Barbara Bush Jr was robbed.

Thieves beat security to rob Bush's daughter

First Daughter Barbara Bush had her purse and cell phone stolen as she had dinner in a restaurant in Buenos Aires, Argentina, even though she was being guarded by a detail of Secret Service agents, according to law enforcement reports made available to ABC News.

It's ironic is that the thief was probably unemployed, or at least in-between jobs, just like Barbara.

I'm not condoning stealing, and if the mugger gets caught he should be punished appropriately. But let's remember that what separates most of us from a life on the street is genetic circumstance. Did you ever chose your parents, country or IQ?

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. In your prayers tomorrow I suggest you add two people: The thief who probably has a rougher life than any of us will ever know, and the Secret Service agent who was guarding Barbara.

I'll bet he's wondering if he'll even have a job by the end of the week.
