“All In the Family” was a TV staple in the 1970’s starring Carol O’ Connor as Archie Bunker. Archie was a blue collar stiff who was conservative in a bigoted kind of way. He abhorred hippies of which his son in-law Michael Spivak was, and was also Polish, which opened Archie up to Polish jokes about his ethnicity. Archie called African Americans, the coloreds, and was certainly a segregationist in a funny kind of stereotypical way. This past week Hostess Bakeries filed chapter eleven in bankruptcy court, and it brought back fond memories of Archie’s love for Hostess Twinkies. I started eating these little crème filled sponge cakes back in the seventies, and still like them a lot today. When I first heard the news of Hostess filing bankruptcy, the first thought I had was Archie’s love for these little sponge cakes and thinking maybe, he might roll over in his grave at this hurtful news. Later I found out that Hostess would continue to produce Twinkies in the light of their reorganization procedure. I took a sigh of relief! I don’t think I am a bigoted guy like Archie, but I do love Twinkies, and am sure glad Archie want have to roll over in his grave. I’m quite sure that, one day Twinkies will come to an end, but in the mean time I am going to enjoy them, fat, cholesterol, and all; although I do need to get hold of myself for: “The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.” Twinkies will pass away one day, but my God and Savior Jesus will stand forever. Alleluia! Everything I enjoy in this life will pass away one day, and I’m ready to let go of them when that day arrives.
