twinkies

America's long national nightmare is about to end.

When the US auto industry was in jeopardy four years ago President Obama stepped in with a bailout package. Now it's the American junk food industry that's in peril, with Hostess Brands closing up shop and heading for liquidation, and some want Obama to take an even more drastic step. Daniel B. of Kansas City has started a petition for the president to "Nationalize the Twinkie industry."

Lots of Twinkies lovin' folks are worried about the recent announcement that Hostess (makers of Twinkies) is filing for bankruptcy. I say bankruptcy, schmankruptcy - make your own Twinkies at home!
