A dismal future for all of us

I know nothing lasts forever.  I realize that things will change, and I've done my best to adapt when changes were inevitable.  After all, I even reconciled myself to lights at Wrigley Field.  But today's news has left me completely despondent. 

Hostess is going out of business. 

And what is the federal government doing about it?  Nothing!  Banks got billions because they were too big to fail, GM and Chrysler got bailed out to save the American automobile industry, but is anybody offering even a measly couple million to keep Hostess Cupcakes on the shelves?  Nuh-uh.

When I look into the future, what I see -- a life without Twinkies -- is mighty bleak.
