Mother’s Cookies Are No More!

I know the major news agencies enjoy covering the banking crisis, the collapse of Wall Street, the problems that plague the auto industry, and Circuit City closing stores, but no one covered Mother’s Cookies going under. Mother’s Cookies has been around since 1916 and had been a stable for kids of all ages when it came to a cookie snack.
I recall as a kid when a treat was having animal cookies with the pink and white frosting. My kids grew up on these cookies as well. One of my other favorites was the frosted Mother’s iced raisin cookies.
As of October 6, 2008, the company closed their doors after being in business for some 92 years of baking one of America’s favorite cookies. Why wasn’t part of the bailout given to these folks instead of some fat cats on Wall Street?
At least they produced a product that America enjoyed. 
Comments welcome.

Probably not part of a bailout because 1) their managment team did not get excessive bonuses to use for polictical donations and 2) their management team was too honest.
