People for whom it is, in fact, harder out here than pimps

With all due deference to the difficulties pimps across America and the globe face on a daily basis, Johnny Utah and I have compiled this (certainly not comprehensive) list of those more severely beset by the trials of modern life:

• Hookers
• Children of pimps and/or hookers
• Former New Orleans pimps
• Non-terrorists named Osama
• Kordell Stewart
• Dick Cheney's hunting buddies
• Rafael Palmeiro
• Crack addicts
• National Guardsmen
• Corey Haim
• Female WalMart employees
• Fraternity-house janitors
• Gay Republicans
• The New Kids on the Block
• New kids on the block (you try moving to a new neighborhood when you're 6)
• Kirby Puckett (3/7/06: Well, it just got either a hell of a lot easier for Kirby, or much harder. RIP Puck. I didn't realize he was going to die when I put this up here yesterday.)
  
• Carnies

As I said above, this is not a comprehensive list. Please feel free to add.
