Truthfully, I gotta tell ya, I'm ok with another 4 years of Obie. I kinda wish the Dems woulda taken the house. Then maybe a third party would have a chance in 2016 or 2020.
I'm in the most recession proof spot in the nation, bring it on.

Yeah it is wrong to paint you with a tea party brush, but on the other hand you are sort of painting those union guys, many of whom probably work real hard, with a broad brush.

There is no such thing as recession proof brother.

Other than the working men and women losing their jobs the only other negative I see here is the food that many of the homeless get from the dumpster after the "factory" stores get rid of their product they don't sell.

It will just be that much harder for those unfortunate folks.

Bankruptcy Judge will make a decision tomorrow on what will be allowed! Hopefully the Judge will make a decision effecting the workers in a positive way.

Not a chance! Bankruptcy judge allows bonuses (or is that boni?) for top execs to be paid and the workers get zilch. So, execs run the company into the ground and raid the workers pension fund for bonuses? F**king job creators, my ass!

Heard on 'Talking Liberally' today, "Hostess execs get the Twinkie, workers get the Ding Dong!"

ps Sorry to joke about this but gallows humor is all that's left in this story.

Those executives should be made to live on a Twinkie diet for a year. They'd be dead by next summer.
