eBay Hostess - 11/16/2012 1:08:37 PM

Status: offline 		After Hostess announced Friday that a protracted labor union battle would force it to close its factories , many red-blooded Americans cowered in fear over the extinction of their beloved Twinkies, Zingers and Ho Hos.

Twinkie junkies are still in luck, however: Boxes of the barely edible snack foods are already selling on eBay.

A box of Ho Hos is being sold for $59.99, while a 48-pack of Zingers is going for $43.

One trickster claims to have “the last Twinkie in the heartland” and the single dessert has a starting bid of $50, but you can buy it right now for $5,235.

Hell, if people had been this keen to eat those nasty cakes last year, Hostess wouldn't be in trouble now...

They weren't in danger of going away then. Like an ex about to get married, people are now realizing they love them again.

Reminds me of Limbaugh ... just a bit more self-serving

After Rush Limbaugh referred to Iraq war veterans critical of the war as “phony soldiers,” he received a letter of complaint signed by 41 Democratic senators. He decided to auction the letter, which he described as “this glittering jewel of colossal ignorance,” for charity, and he pledged to match the price, dollar for dollar.

On Thursday night, Mr. Limbaugh, the conservative radio talk show host, said he thought the letter would bring in as much as $1 million. But he was wrong.

When the eBay auction closed Friday afternoon, the winning bid was $2.1 million. It is the largest amount ever paid for an item sold on eBay for the benefit of a charity.

The money will go to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation Inc., a New Jersey-based nonprofit organization that provides scholarships and other assistance to families of Marines and federal law enforcement officials who die or are wounded in the line of duty. Mr. Limbaugh is a director of the foundation, which had total revenues of $5.2 million last year.

Like hell he never recovered - from the article -

But in a statement on the floor of the Senate on Friday, Mr. Reid praised the auction. “I strongly believe that when we can put our differences aside, even Harry Reid and Rush Limbaugh, we should do that and try to accomplish good things for the American people,” he said.


It was Reid who ate the humble pie.

I recall back when he was funny and not so bitter and angry......he was referring to military persons in general as "pukes".....as if he knew the jargin.....

But rush was called on it and embarrassed by callers, explaining what a puke was and that he being disrespectful should STFU.... 


He`s pretty fucked up ...but his fans are that times ten.....
