I’m running a day late and a dollar short today, as we scale new heights of technology!
More tomorrow!

Pandarella Episode 18
Oh boy there has been a lot going on, hasn’t there? Might be one or two things…
But…
I thought it was high time we had another episode of Pandarella!
Just when things are getting interesting….

Bob T is all in for Kamala Panda
It’s a Wu, Wu Wu, Wu, Wu, Wu World!
Happy 12th Birthday to the one and only Mr. Wu!
Xiao LiWu the little gift that keeps on giving, Mr. Wu to his nannies and his friends has completed 12 trips around the sun today! Mr. Wu was the first panda I watched from the time he was a tiny cubby. While I was already a committed panda fan by then, he was the first real panda that I incorporated in to the stories here at The Panda Chronicles.
In honor of his birthday on Monday, July 29th, today’s presentation will be a little panda palooza of early Wu-toons! Pandarella will resume on Thursday!
Here we go!
I hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane with Mr. Wu! Of course, around this time Pinky and the Meihems had appeared on the scene, and Pinky’s quest for world domination had begun.
By the way, it is also the birthdays of the only surviving triplets, who served as Pinky’s minions during her first run for the White House in 2016.
Till next time!

Will ZooNooZ Endorse Pinky or….
What a roller coaster these last two weeks have been. It’s a good thing we have the brilliant political analyst team on ZooNooZ, isn’t it?
A tip of the cheesehead hat to Jenn D who reminded me of this important cultural phenomenon!
Uh oh….

The Panda Chronicles Welcomes the Next Generation of Pandas
Wow, wow, wow. There is so much going on right now, and I will probably have A LOT to say about it, but I wanted to take a moment for hope and joy and optimism for the future. I am, of course, talking about…
The new PanDiego pandas will be making their debut on August 8th!
Coincidentally, that is also the 50th anniversary of Nixon’s resignation, but that is another ‘toon. For now…
LET’S PUT OUR PAWS TOGETHER FOR THE WARMEST ZOONOOZ WELCOME!!!
I should probably point out that I have never watched even one episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation, although I did faithfully watch the original series. I just thought it was a good title and a way to differentiate between the Pinky/Bubba/Bikkie universe and the new pandas in DC and PanDiego.
I can’t wait to see how Zinger and Chuie develop as characters in the Panda Chronicles Universe.

Bob T is kinda optimistic for the future Panda
The RNC Pageant, VP Edition
I bet you think I’m gonna have a little rant….
I think you’re right. I’m doing my best not to immerse myself in the RNC spectacle: the insincere calls for “unity”, the calculated choice of a young, not what you might call qualified, choice for VP. He is certainly no statesman.
What the GOP means by “unity:
That we will not point out the crimes, both convicted and indicted of their chosen candidate.
That we will not say mean things about the far reaching implications and realities of their Project 2025, which is the blueprint to take down the government and the country as we have known it in our lifetime.
That we will not point out the many, many, (many) lies told by their candidate both in and out of office
That we will not keep bringing up that …um…attempted coup when he lost in 2020.
That we will accept their calls for violence while not raising a hand to defend ourselves.
900 pages is a lot to read, and I have not read it. But here is one of the highlights, things that you might not consider would have impact on our day to day lives:
Defunding NOAA: These are the scientists that bring us the weather reports. Besides bringing attention to climate change, those wonderful little weather apps that come free on our phones, the ones that tell us if we need to bring a sweater or maybe put off our trip to the city for a day, because there is a big storm coming in, those are big business. If only those could be privatized…run for profit! You don’t get to know which way the wind blows if you’re not willing to pay for it. Mostly, we think of those weather apps as a nice thing, so we know what to wear or to pack for a trip. But they are a vital tool for weather disaster planning, that saves lives as well as money.
JD Vance is closely tied to Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and (barf) Tweedledee and Tweedledum. FFF* was leaning toward the rich white guy from North Dakota: a guy who at least looked the part of VP. But Tweedledee and Tweedledum thought young JD was the better pick. That should tell you all you need to know.
Meanwhile, back at the Panda Chronicles…
Here’s to not having bad dreams…

We’re Back with Episode 17 of Pandarella!
Because we absolutely need some fairy tales right now!
We’ll rant more about current events in our Thursday episode. Meanwhile, let’s see what Bikkie’s fairy god-pandas have been up to…
Six and Sebben will NEBBER recognize Bikkie in his red panda disguise!

May I Have the Envelope Please?
I don’t know about you, but I’m getting increasingly frustrated with the “OH MY GOD I NEVER REALIZED JOE BIDEN IS OLD WE MUST DOOOOOOO SOMETHING ABOUT IT RIGHT! NOW!” narrative in the so called mainstream media and the pundit class is yelling from the rooftops.
Some of you (maybe about 150 million) seem to be unaware we have what is called a “Primary Election” that is held in different states, roughly from the end of January till the late spring. At this time, you could vote for other people who chose to run. Dean Phillips (who?) and the failed scion of the Kennedy clan ran and mostly finished behind “no voice” or “uncommitted”. Pretty far below, if I remember correctly.
Look. I don’t know if Biden is going to make it through 4 years. That’s why there is a Vice President and we have a good one. Apparently there is a faction that just noticed she is a multi racial woman, a fact they seemed to ignore while there was no chance she would actually become president if something happened to Biden. Maybe all the viable alternates didn’t run because they knew it would be a cluster*ck and maybe hand the election to TFG.
To be clear I will vote for a box of donuts if it is running as the head of the Democratic ticket, but I’m happy to vote for Handsome Joe if he is indeed the one running. He must feel like he’s under a million microscopes right now. If there is a fight at the convention, it won’t be exciting (at least not in a good way) and it won’t be fun. It will only make us weaker and lead some people to stay home and not vote at all.
And that is what Felon 45 and his ilk wants.
Meanwhile, maybe by this time next week we’ll know who FFF (Felon Forty Five, get it?) is bringing to the prom.
I’m staying as far away from the election food fight as I can.

Pinky Had Something to Say
Pandarella will be back next week, but in the meantime, Pinky had something that was really bothering her. (And you know we can’t ignore what Pinky wants)
The stoopyhead Supremes have a LOT to answer for.

I know that all sorts of news stories are avalanching around the internet and news media right now. I hope you’ll all take a deep breath and get more than one look at all of these stories from as many sources as you can find.
For me, here’s how it shakes down:
If Biden is the D candidate, I’m voting for Biden
If Harris is the D candidate, I’m voting for Harris
If Pinky is the D candidate, I’m voting for Pinky
3rd party candidates are just a vote for TFG.
Please read even some “highlights” of the rethuglican Project 2025. They cannot be allowed to put this into practice.
A Small Request
We can’t rely on Pinky and her magical wand to get us out of this.
The one thing we don’t want is for the “Biden steps down — Democrats lose” to become a self fulfilling prophecy. It would be good to let your Senators and House rep know your opinion on this. Feel free to use or modify my text shown below, that I am sending to my representatives today. You can call their offices if you’d like, but most offices have a contact form you can use. Let’s flood our reps with the opinion that the most important thing is to defeat Trump and stave off Project 2025 and the Trump dictatorship.
This is most useful if you have Democratic Party reps, but it wouldn’t be amiss to send to Republican representatives as well. You can copy and paste my text if you’d like.
Message to Senators/ Representative:
I believe that President Biden is the most capable person to decide whether or not he has the will and the energy to see this election through. He has been an excellent president, passing many initiatives that benefit a wide swath of the American people.
I believe him when he says he has the stamina to both run and defeat the former president. He has an excellent Vice President in Kamala Harris, as well as a very capable cabinet. He has more he would like to accomplish on our behalf and I think that constantly questioning whether that is the case is harmful to our prospects in November.
One bad debate should not be the beginning of the end for the American experiment. The former president at the most benign interpretation would bring in a regressive era with the loss of many rights and personal autonomy.
I believe President Biden is the best president I have seen in the 12 presidents of my lifetime. Please stand by him and let him finish the job.
