Hector Heathcote Day
In honor of the despised minority who closed the US government because of their hatred for the President and the fair passage of law, a photo tribute collected from newspapers in the last few days.
Hector Heathcote rings his liberty bell a week or so before hundreds of thousands of tyrannical federal employees are sent home and the US government slowly grinds to a halt. Freedom at last.
Some of the men of the Second Revolt. God Bless America. Slight surge in sales of Hector Heathcote costumes begins.
Battle on, older white patriots and freedom fighters! Your cause has been the most noble in the land. “At the National Institutes of Health, nearly three-quarters of the staff was furloughed.” The same is happening to the Centers for Disease Control! Moochers whose jobs are just a symptom of bloated, out of control government.
Well done, men of WhiteManistan! In your tireless effort to preserve our freedoms and liberties, you made an older lady cry:
“Michael Mueller, a retired visitor from Arizona, and his wife Bea had planned their trip to New York for six months. Instead, she was left in tears at what she said should be the last thing to close.”
The bill for the 2010 elections comes due.

You realize, of course, that this is unfair to the “real” Hector Heathcote, even though it was one of the worst cartoons ever.

Yes, I felt a twinge of guilt about that. It was not a good cartoon, I watched it anyway, and Hector Heathcote was merely an imbecile, by no means written or created in any spirit remotely like that of the Tea Party. That’s my disclaimer and I’m sticking to it.
