(Ongoing disasters) You might recall that Interstate Bakeries -- makers of Hostess Twinkies and Wonder Bread -- are in bankruptcy. Both products are nutritional disasters: the dumb sort of product that could only be produced and consumed in America.
Today George W. Bush announced an auto industry bailout plan aimed at forestalling the inevitable bankruptcy of Chrysler and possibly GM. It doesn't take a genius to see the similarities between stupid products like Twinkies and Wonder Bread and stupid products like Escalades and Hummers.
So the obvious question: Why no Twinkies bailout from the Bushies?
