And what says the MSM during all of this?
(sound of crickets)
:: Hostess ultimately was brought to its knees by a national strike ::
WSJ (indignantly): “What do you mean we are biased toward unions?”
Yup, the union winds....and the union members who has jobs are now unemployed....gotta love the employees greed....
"...you took my TWINKIEEEEESS"
“Union Man” by The Cate Brothers
Well, it’s six a.m.
I’m out on the job
Working like a fool
For my pay
A big man walks by
With a smile
Says you got to go
On strike today
Hey, hey, Mr. union man
How am I gonna pay my dues
Or the landlord or the doctor
How am I getting new shoes
Well, I know I need
To help to get that raise
There’s one thing I don’t like
Tell me how can I
Feed my hungry family
I you say I’m going on strike
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/cate_brothers/union_man.html ]
Hey, hey, Mr. union man
How am I gonna pay my dues
Owe more money than I can pay
Looks like I’m bound to lose
Well, I don’t see how
I’m going to get ahead
Seem like there ain’t no way
Well, said don’t worry
Cause I understand
Won’t you try to
See things my way
Hey, hey, Mr. union man
Thank you for the helping hand
Hey, hey, Mr. union man
So glad you understand

I 'wonder' if he is a relative of Sam Rayburn, Democrat, longtime Speaker of the US House of Representatives who was also from Texas?................
And now we can’t even depend on Twinkies during the Zombie Apocalypse. ;(
Reminds me of when BAMA Pie quit making their small cookie sized pies years ago. There was shock among the working men that they could not get a pecan pie from the machine anymore.
Wonder if LITTLE DEBBIE’s directors are meeting on how to take over the HOSTESS market niche.
I, for one, am hoping Little Debbie digs deep and becomes Big Debbie.
What horrible timing, two states vote to legalize marijuana and they throw in the towel now?
It was as if a million stoners cried out in terror and then were suddenly hungry. I feel something terrible has happened.
But the good news is, Obama’s reelected, so they can eat four years worth of Hope and Change! Why they might even get a job as a scab at Wal-Mart for Good Friday!
Other companies will be making those brands soon, they will use their existing facilities. No need to buy up the union-laden ones.
Some of those fools really believed a new buyer would give them their original pay and benefits. They were that deluded.
You should have seen the union dullards on TV here in NC, happy to sit on strike and lose their jobs, luckily the Dear Leader will rescue them
The local Bakers Union here in Orlando sees the liquidation as a possible benefit. They are hoping that someone buys the plants and hires them.
I’m afraid there just aren’t enough stupid rich folks to go around.
Well, the homosexuals won this word fight, too. I mean, once no one remembers what a real Twinkie was they’ll only have the euphemism ‘twinkie’ to describe a homosexual.
