Check out this picture of Simon at his most fierce (as you can see he was rather upset with Garfunkel...)

This is a video I took of a salamander that I found outside (he has since been released back to the wild for anyone concerned about him being in a jar) and our cat Garfunkel. The song is called "Tribalistas" and it's on an album called Tribalistas and it's by a band called Tribalistas.

As you can see in the video, Garfunkel was quite interested in this salamander. At the very end of the video he jumps up on the table to get a better look at him but finds a lit candle instead. Don't worry, he doesn't get burned!

Health Care

To follow up on my post from earlier today: Please do what you can to help get health care reform passed! Go to HealthCareForAmericaNow.org to learn what you can do to get involved. This is a very important issue that will directly effect so many of us.

It's important to realize that health care reform will make it illegal for health insurance companies to not cover people due to pre-existing conditions and it will also make it illegal for them to cut coverage from people when they need it most (which sadly happens all the time now.)

This reform is absolutely essential and anyone who says differently is either lying, ignorant, or they have some other motive other than the best health care for Americans (health insurance companies who want to keep making billions of dollars by screwing over their customers and Republican politicians seeking to win a political victory over the President no matter who the collateral damage is.)

Also you should know that most doctors support health care reform:

I know this website is supposed to be about cats but I think this issue is important enough to post about it here anyway. This is President Obama's great speech on health care and I definitely recommend you watch it. He really clears up the truth of what health care reform is all about and what goals it seeks to accomplish:



Health Care Reform is largely about stopping the health insurance companies from ripping people off. It's about making it illegal for health insurance companies to discriminate against people based on "pre-existing conditions." It's about making it illegal for insurance companies to drop coverage from those who are sick. And it's about lowering health care costs so everyone can afford health care coverage.

So who's against this exactly? Who is spreading all of the "scary" lies about health care reform? Those who have something to gain from it not being passed. The Republican Party (who simply wishes to win a political victory even if it costs the people of this nation dearly) and of course the health insurance companies (who want to keep making money by denying care to those need it most.)

Please do your part to help support health care reform. This issue is too important to sit back and let ignorant insane "tea baggers" ruin it for everyone. Go to HealthCareForAmericaNow.org and see what you can do to help.
