^^^^^^^ Dear auntblabby, How is your arm doing??
thank you for remembering me
i am on the slow boat to recovery [if not china 
]- the month after the accident was hell on wheels, i felt like taking a long walk off of a short pier then. but i am much better now, not healed but at least i can take care of my own physical needs now [brushing/flossing/personal hygiene/feeding myself]. i still don't know why god allowed this to happen to me. i don't really know for sure what i was supposed to learn from this. 
anyways, i treated myself to a special treat as a consolation to myself, a KFC barbecued chicken breast which i could barely eat due to not being able to bend my left arm enough to bring it to my mouth, so i had to take a fork and knife to it. still delicious, though 
if i could've predicted the future with hostess' demise, i woulda had a twinkie for dessert 
Don't know how much it helped, but my church prayed for you.
helped a BIG AMOUNT!
thank you my good friend and GOD BLESS YOU

why do so many here on WP demonize the working class and lionize the rich no matter how venal some of them are? were some of the joe lunchbucket haters mugged by a fast food worker sometime?

God forbid that the high priests of the Church of the Free Market should be held responsible for any harm to the economy, as we all know the invisible hand of their god, the FREE MARKET, can do no wrong!

I have no patience with the Crony Capitalists. They have betrayed and sold out the great promise of the Industrial Revolution. The Proles are as they always have been. People of limited mind and scope and concerned only with their relatively trivial personal concerns. There reason why there are Proles at all is that 85 percent of the human race is not terribly wise or bright.

In all fairness, there have always been people who have worked mundane jobs, and have had exceptional intellects, but because of circumstance had never risen to anything higher. My Dad had been one of the best read people I've ever known, and I had loved having intellectual discussions with him, and yet he was a laborer at an aluminum plant. My Dad had suffered from chronic depression, and I believe probably had had undiagnosed Asperger's, and so he stuck with a job he hated for it's monotony. As well, the author and poet Charles Bukowski, formerly a skid row alcoholic had worked in a job at the post office that he hated till he was fifty - and only then managed to pull away to write successfully.

Can you provide a source for that? Book and verse number.
for the benefit of curious WPers everywhere, it was Aristotle who wrote about such things [pederasty] in Politics, II 6.6. Athen. XIII 603a. but the phrase "Women for breeding, boys for pleasure, but melons for sheer delight" is a Pathan proverb, also reported in similar forms from the Arab countries, Iran and North Africa. this was referenced in Sir Richard Burton's translation of Kama Sutra: the Hindu art of lovemaking, intro.
thank god for wiki.
back to the thread at hand, i believe the baker's union just could not abide the hostess' management giving itself millions in bonuses despite losing the firm $300 million over the last decade. they believed that if they just knuckled under to those robber barons, they would be prostituting themselves to those bloodsuckers. IOW it was a matter of personal honor for the baker's union.
