The Twinkies Defense

After its embarrassing showing in its polls for this year's presidential race and many Senate contests, it's good to see Rasmussen returning to the fray with a very serious poll about...Twinkies.  Yes, it has asked what folks think about them and, no surprise, 57% voted thumbs up.  The junkier the junk food the better, apparently, as other polls from the firm find big majorities rejecting the idea of new taxes on junk food and new restrictions on giant soft drinks (despite the obesity and diabetes epidemics that ruin lives and super-size taxes and insurance premiums we all pay).

And, naturally--this being Rasmussen--a poll finds that most people blame the union for Twinkies temporary demise due to Hostess closing.
