Aside

Overheard on Facebook: A satirical response to the Hostess saga

A Tea Party activist, a union organizer, and a business executive have just sat down at a table to talk politics. The table has a platter with a dozen Twinkies on it.

The CEO wastes no time in taking eleven of the Twinkies for himself.

Then he turns to the Tea Party activist and says, “Watch out for that union guy - he wants part of your Twinkie.”
