You can at least try to be witty when you act so stupid.


I don't think it is an act.

It's the greatest act ever, and we're all just a bunch of suckers.

I read an account from one of the union members as to why they held their line, even knowing the corporate board wasn't bluffing.

Hostess wanted an 8% wage cut this year, ramping up to a 27% overall cut five years from now. The now ex-employee said he'll miss the job he had before, but he sure as hell won't miss the job they were going to give him. If he's only going to make $20,000 a year as a truck driver, it wasn't going to be for "those @#%^s."

Hostess bought out one of the larger bakeries here, JJ Nissans, a decade or so ago. The message from the striking employees from the beginning has never been one of negotiation or compromise. They wanted Hostess gone with the hope that someone else would buy the Nissan bakeries.

According to CNBC's Twitter feed, Hostess and the Bakers Union have agreed to mediation which will currently delay the closure of Hostess.

Donate them to a thrift store/food shelter and claim them as a tax deduction. Make sure you print a record of the eBay sale in case the IRS wants to audit you.
