Sick kitty
Sometimes, we get a little hurt… and sometimes, we need a little hand… and sometimes, we need a cone around our head so we don’t gnaw our wounds raw.

History Friday: End of the World Edition
Continuing our series of History Friday cute revues, we turn to Mr. Henry “Hank” Paulson. Hank has the distinct privilege of serving as the United States Treasury Secretary during the complete collapse of the world economy.
But did you know that he has a cuter, cuddlier side? It’s true!
Fortune magazine reported in 2004:
Few people realize that, far away from Wall Street, Hank Paulson has another, equally intense existence as a lover of wildlife and protector of the environment.
His love of animals was instilled in him as a child, and continued in his early adult life:
Growing up as a Christian Scientist on a farm in Barrington, Ill., he says, “I wanted to be a forest ranger right up until the time I went to college.” Practicality intruded; he went to Dartmouth and then Harvard Business School. After he married Wendy, a Wellesley grad, he bought five acres of his family’s farm and built a house there. It was a zoo, in every sense of the word. Besides two children, they raised raccoons (Twinkie, Sam, Hershey, Rambo), flying squirrels, alligators, mice, birds, dogs, cats, turtles, frogs, lizards, a tarantula–and, of course, snakes. “It’s hard to think of an animal I’m not interested in,” says Paulson, who liked to let the raccoons run loose in the house. (Wendy “went along with it,” he says.) [Ed. - There's a "letting raccoons run loose in the house" economic metaphor here somewhere... ]
He even once espoused dreams of working for environmental protection:
Three years ago [in 2001], when the Conservancy was looking for a new CEO, the board asked Paulson if he would consider taking the job. “The timing isn’t right,” Paulson said then.
How about now, Hank?
