“If You Can’t Scoop It, Make It Up.”
My crack investigative journalism team has discovered the First Lady of the United States intends to nominate the 18,000 Hostess employees who just lost their jobs for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Following is the first draft of the citation.

FROM: Office of FLOTUS
TO: The Courageous Twinkie Werkers Collective
SUBJ: Nomination For Presidential Medal of Freedom
Werkers of the Twinkie Collective, we the Ones We Have Been Waiting For salute you for standing up to the evil capitalist vampires who were formerly your employers at the Hostess Corporation. By demanding more for less, you don't just have nothing now - you have struck a blow for werker solidarity the world over. At the same time, you have eliminated a source of delicious but nutritionally empty snacks, which have been a symbol of American excess and greed the world over. And Wonder Bread, please - do you have any idea how many cancer causing preservatives were in a single slice? Well, it's a lot I bet. Thus, your courageous action has struck a blow for both food safety and bending the health care cost curve.
To recognize your bravery and solidarity with the world's werkers, you have been nominated for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And don't worry about next month's bills either, we the Ones We Have Been Waiting For have your backs. Go to BarackObama.com today to sign up for a minimum wage position chanting on street corners in support of re-electing Barack to his third term. Wait, there's more! Go to BarackObama.com in the next 20 minutes and claim your coupon for free breakfast at IHOP.
IHOP Coupon Requirements
1. You must never speak of Benghazi again. And, no, Barack does not know who sent out Susan Rice to peddle the video lie!
2. To conform with Office of FLOTUS dietary standards, the coupon is capped at 200 IHOP calories.
3. To conform with Office of FLOTUS physical fitness standards, 30 jumping jacks in the IHOP parking lot is mandatory after coupon redemption.
