Frankly, no one should be bailed out from anything. Companies who willingly committed fraud in screwing up our economy should not only not receive any taxpayer bailout money, but should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Other companies in their situation are left [...]
The Wieners Circle, the hot dog stand around the corner from the hotel we stayed at in Chicago a few weeks ago, was apparently featured on the TV version of This American Life last year. Check it: clicky link
