Through a combination of Internet surfing and a facile mind, this blogger has learned that the State of Illinois is now being governed by … the Heat Miser.

    OH . . .MY. . .GOD!!! This is TOO hilarious!!!
    I actually OWN the DVD of “The year without a Santa Claus” which is where Heat Miser came from, and my sister and I used to sing along with the song they sing in the show when we were kids.
    Once again David, the workings of your sick and twisted mind is a reassuring thing to the rest of us who think in similar and odd, ways!!

    Even though I own the DVD I went to YouTube and watched it again.
    Afterwards, I clicked on one of the other Heat Mister/Snow Miser videos, and discovered that the “Politically-correct Police” have gotten ahold of these hilarious characters and written an inane song about “brothers getting along” Yecht!!

    Why MUST those people ruin EVERYTHING!? I wanted to scream at that video: “OH SHUT UP!!! Siblings DON’T get along, OK??? Go preach at someone else, and quit ruining a perfectly fun kid’s movie!!!”

    Scandalous, Kristen. You do know it’s not “show and tell” anymore, but “show and share.”
    Telling: It’s just too didactic.

    Seriously, what drug-induced-hippie-illustrator came up with that face for the heat meiser? It’s like the director said, “Come up with something that will scare the hell out of kids for decades.” I bet the guy moved on to create HR Puffenstuff. Better yet: Maybe the new Illinois guy was the illustrator…think about it.

    I have to say that both of them have the same face, that’s so comic, I’d like to see more funny images like that other days.
