You can watch the National Zoo's yet un-named female panda cub be nursed by her mother Mei Xiang right now on the zoo's panda cam.

**SNIP**

The zoo announced on Twitter that the all live animal cams would go dark during a shutdown, along with in real life public options.

Maybe the bear wouldn't mind being left alone - just like me.

The Democrats will be running commercials on children’s TV programs saying that the baby panda will be killed if the government shuts down.

One wonders if the camera continues to run and if it will be recorded.

Will for instance the video of the dead panda be shown after the shut down is over eventhough the death occured during the shut down.

Then there is the mother Panda. Is she as a resident of the National Zoo a federal employee and on furlough unable to care for the poor little thing?

As long as I no longer have to see Obama, I’m fine with a shut down.

“being left alone”

Didn’t a Supreme Court opinion decide that “the right to be left alone” was part of the 1st Amendment (one of the many that are ignored)?

OH MY GOD! No more Panda cam? the liberals won’t even notice as long as they can still get porn on that interweb thingy. Now if cuts into their ability to get beer, drugs or go gambling they might take notice.

Has anyone asked the pandas how they feel about this?
