Claude Allen, domestic policy advisor to President Bush and almost a judge, says the reason he turned into a petty thief stealing from Target stores was the long, 14-hour work days associated with hurricane Katrina. I don't buy it. (Actually, neither did he) When I worked 20-hour days during a political campaign in the 80's the worse thing that happened to me was developing the habit of having breakfast at Denny's at 2am.
I suspect the self-loathing of being a lifetime token Nigra who started his career as an aide to the racist Jesse Helms had more to do with it.

How can working 14 hour days cause someone to steal? I don't get it.
That's about as dumb as the Chewbaca defense used by Johny Cockren on South Park.
