Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute on just deserts…

For awhile it was looking tough for Twinkie fans. Media outlets were reporting the imminent demise of Hostess bakery. In case you aren’t familiar with their tasty treat, it’s a handy cream filled cake widely rumored to have a 100-year shelf life.  Some consider Twinkies the perfect food for emergency stock piles in that they will stay fresh longer than you do. The obituary is premature. Management greed and union absurdity hasn’t yet finished them off. We understand the harm of overcompensating execs, but why are unions a problem for Twinkies? Because union drivers can deliver Twinkies or bread, but not both. Union truck loaders can load Twinkies or bread, but not both. And truck drivers are not allowed to load either one. Now you know why Twinkies last 100 years. It takes that long to get them delivered.  That also helps explain the hurricane recovery delays.  Unions – organized crime by political means.

I’m Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid conservative…
