So, the shutdown occurs...the fucking PANDA CAM at the National Zoo

[rustydog]

will be one of the victims of the shutdown!!!!

OMG, OMG. How much did the camera cost tax payers to purchase? How much to have a technician install it? How much for the video surveillance program to run it? How much to maintain it on a yearly basis????

And the Fucking Republican Party is offended when American Citizens and their children need WELFARE? REALLY?
We've had torrential rain in the Seattle region the past few days...thousands upon thousands of homeless in indescribable discomfort and we have a Taxpayer-funded Panda Cam!!!???????

Hey Rank Paul, John BONER, Pat Fucking Robertson (self-appointed jesus-gop spokesperson) Eriprick Cantor and the rest of you corporate-owned prostitutes...If anything, anything at all, please Save the panda cam!!!!

5. I have to add this: When GOP dawling of the moment: Bobby Jindal

gave his heavily-botched state of the union rebuttal he was so sneeringly dismissive of wasted taxpayer dollars on "VOLCANO MONITORING" then Mt. Redoubt erupts in Palin-land and reroutes air traffic world wide.
He was resoundingly silent about taxpayer-funded zoo cams.
So Repugnants favor using our taxpayer dollars on wars (not our soldiers), war on crime and cute animal cams. Helping the homeless, sick, starving AMERICANS? not so much.
