And now we won't have anymore Twinkies, and 18,000 more people will be out of work. Michele has won.

Yeah, like the administration has anything whatsoever to do with an ongoing labor/management strike and reorg that's been underway for months...

This sounds more like a job for "SUPER-Vulture"... (Since Mitt-Flop doesn't have anything else to do these days but go on an "apology tour" to visit his money, perhaps Bain could scoop it up for very little, raid the pension funds and pocket them, and leave the 18,000 folks screwed anyway?)

The territory of Colorado was first colonized by Hispanics, well before the first white invaders. Many generations of families in the San Luis Valley go back to the late 1600's.

But the administration does have something to do by passing expensive new healthcare legislation increasing costs for businesses with high labor costs.

Got a flash for you... With 18,500 employees and about 5 unions, Hostess already HAD employee health care, and the Obamacare program would have had NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER..None / Zero / Nada / Bupkiss....

Nice try though... You keep it up... Sooner or later you're bound to get something right.

LOL LJ...I will give you credit for tenacity.
Between the labor issues they were having and the impending increase in health care costs, Hostess is just the first of hundreds of businesses that are gonna bite the dust......good try.....I doubt that you will ever get it right though.

(edited to add.....your up early today)

LOL Becky, I will give you credit for willful ignorance...
