Hostess goes under, ACIN is sad :(

I could care one way or the other, but I have to admit I findit wildy amusing when a union calls a bluff and it turns out not to be a bluff.

Pensions are outdated. Unless you work for the government, who does not have to turn a profit, no sane person would actually go to work for a company and expect a "pension"

The union's lack of flexibility ran the company into the ground. There. I said it. In this day and age, you can't expect to work a ding dong assembly line and retire early with a pension for the rest of your days. It's low-skill, low pay work. No strike is going to change that- as they found out.

I'll be interested to see if the Obama administration tries to force unions onto any buyers of Hostess.

In honor of the Twinkie, I'd like to post this clip from one of the best Zombie movies ever made... Zombieland.

One day soon, life's little Twinkie gauge is gonna go empty.
