Well, better Mehican Twinkies than Chinese Twinkies, eh?

Hail to the unions, another masterful job of putting Americans (18,500) out of work....

Last week, the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union went on a nationwide strike.

So sad. Glad I have my copycat recipe in hand

But this is telling:

Hostess Brands was founded in 1930 and had revenues of $2bn last year.

The union's pension fund is its biggest unsecured creditor, and is owed about $944.2m
