Good luck with that.



Rooting for the suffering of others for political gain?

Better resurrect Chris Columbus and have him sail the political seas. I find it hard to believe that there is anything right of Republica.

The Great Twinkie Caper is what they should start calling this. How do you revitalize your market share? Threaten to go belly up. The company and the union have agreed to mediation. I sure hope this doesn't mean the employees are going to have to bear the brunt of this but if history is any teacher, they will. What is amusing in this is the spike in prices on eBay for these products. What a country!

Other than the working men and women losing their jobs the only other negative I see here is the food that many of the homeless get from the dumpster after the "factory" stores get rid of their product they don't sell.

It will just be that much harder for those unfortunate folks.

Bankruptcy Judge will make a decision tomorrow on what will be allowed! Hopefully the Judge will make a decision effecting the workers in a positive way.

Not a chance! Bankruptcy judge allows bonuses (or is that boni?) for top execs to be paid and the workers get zilch. So, execs run the company into the ground and raid the workers pension fund for bonuses? F**king job creators, my ass!

Heard on 'Talking Liberally' today, "Hostess execs get the Twinkie, workers get the Ding Dong!"

ps Sorry to joke about this but gallows humor is all that's left in this story.

Those executives should be made to live on a Twinkie diet for a year. They'd be dead by next summer.
