In Defense Of Cat Videos

An open letter to Anthony Weiner.

Yesterday evening, in a candid interview with BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith, New York "mayoral" candidate "Anthony Weiner" condescendingly suggested in no uncertain terms that cat videos were ephemeral, unimportant, and forgettable. AND I QUOTE: "You can do this," said Mr. Weiner, "or show videos of cats," (sarcastically!) "or whatever it is you do at BuzzFeed."

Well, sir. Obviously, you have never seen this "video of a cat," or whatever, in which two cats play patty-cake with each other.

Yes, Mr. Weiner, the cats play patty-cake with each other. But you probably never even bothered to click play, otherwise you would have known that. I take it that you also missed that infinitely brief but briefly infinite moment last year when a cat pushed a small cart across the world's stage and the universe almost shattered.
