Leave it to AFret to turn a comment into a politican rant. On the otherhand, Hostess has filed for bankruptcy for the second time in what, 9 years. What kind of a company can't sell junk-food to fat Americans?

I'm part of union as well Cameron and I'm fully aware on how they operate but these had choices and sure they were influenced by those at the top that striking was the best option without being fully made aware on how serious this matter was. Unions now of days have less power. How can you ask for more money when there is not to be spent this economy is in bad shape there is no extra money. Pretty sure if someone had a chance to rethink this idea they would have chose differently. Strike to not lose a $1,000 dollar a year in salary or lose a $1,000 and have a job. I would think they would want to keep their job. But wait let's not forget about those 6 figure employs who have the resources an who can bounce back let's encourage those lets fortunate to risk it all for a $1,000 extra a year. Sometimes you just need t stick out. Your not going to get money from seine if they don't have it. And it's funny all hostess will so in the long is rebuild their brand and hire people to work for less.

Jose is right in one respect, there is a void created in the food market and some intelligent entrepeneur will look to find a business friendly climate to make twinkies (or twinkie like) snacks. He'll make his decision, and our twinkies will now have Made in China or Made in Mexico stamped on the package.

The only problem I have with voting is it sounds like a ballot for the democratic primary: TWINKies, HO's, Ding Dong's and lastly a Zinger because the joke is on you.

Umm, joserivera, do you think maybe Pastor was being facetious? It kind of sounds more like a very dry sense of humor than a problem with his Christianity.

Pastor, According to your own teachings, All men were created equal. Twinkies for the VIP only is discriminatory and unequal treatment. Was there a separate menu for the 4 or 5 most senior disciples during the last supper? Didn't they share the fish equally? Time for your church to start thinking and acting as if they were real Christians like most other churches/cults do.
