Twinkees Dead, Union Charged with Ho-Homicide..

[KCFlyer]

Kind of funny Eric...while it's easy and convenient to blame the unions, when the "savior" VC group brought Hostess out of bankruptcy the first time, the did so with $680,000,000 in debt, which is more than they went in with. And they did this long before Obama became president and Michelle told us to not eat sweets. But even before that, a lot of America began getting on a "fit kick"....I guess they were inspired by their mountain biking and jogging war president. Yet Hostess didn't introduce anything for a "health conscious" public. They kept making Twinkees, Ding Dongs and white bread. Come out of bankruptcy with substantially more debt than you went in with...don't change your product line to fit consumer trends...and blame the unions for all your woes. The republican way I guess.

Hostess Brands is Closed.

We are sorry to announce that Hostess Brands, Inc. has been forced by a Bakers Union strike to shut down all operations and sell all company assets. For more information, go to hostessbrands.info. Thank you for all of your loyalty and support over the years.

I do not see any mention of poor management, planning or anything else for that matter.

It's certainly been implied. She's said she won't go as far as putting warning labels on Twinkees, but it's pretty clear she wants "parents to know what's in the Twinkee, and how much of that can we eat?"...

Call it what you will. I'm of the opinion that whenever the Obama's say they're not looking to restrict something, it's best to be prepared for the exact opposite to happen.

And to be clear, I have no hatred of the Obamas. I simply have contempt for their agenda. There's a world of difference.

This kind of proves what I have been talking about. Obesity cost the US billions of dollars every year and it is quite possible that todays generation may have a shorter life span than their pareants. But in your eye's the bigger issue is what the first lady says? The first lady having no power to make laws over the foods we eat.

Are you sure of that? Reason I ask is that you start a thread about the four Americans that died in Libya but don't start one about the 4000+ that died in Iraq.

Maybe unemployment will pay them more !

Maybe because we all knew you wouldn't bring up the 4 American's, who asked for help, didn't receive it and died, in Benghazi !

So I your eyes 4000 dead American's and god knows how many Iraqi's is no big deal because a god fearing conservative was at the helm?

So you admit that you did not research anything yet again and that the company did blame the shut down on the unions?

Don't you get tired of being constantly proven wrong?

I thought Pharaoh ended the war, so what's left to talk about?

More importantly, what did the media ignore? What talking points got massaged to sway an electorate?

Not to minimize the 4000+ in the least bit, but in Iraq, they didn't die in vain --- the country was liberated. Kids are attending schools that aren't celebrating a dictator, and people aren't being oppressed or tortured for opposing Saddam.

What cause did the guys in Libya die for?

But loads of influence.......

The evolution of electronics is a big issue with exercise these days. Kids don't seem to 'play' outside much around here at least. Not like when I was a kid.
It was ingrained into daily activity during my school years then went away.
