What is a presidential campaign without a convention or two, and what is a convention without speeches? A lot shorter and a lot …oh..all right. I’ll let Babette speak.
Sigh….
Of course, there will be small pandas in attendance.
Babette has ..um…toned her wardrobe down in honor of this important occasion.
Be the Bear!

Well, enough with the sad panda faces. One of the things that I love about pandas (besides being one myself) is that pandas never give up, no matter how hard things get. A late (as in gone from this earth) gardener friend had a theory about plants. She said that they entice you with their beauty or their fragrance, so that you would get down in the dirt and do stuff for them like water or weed around them. Maybe the plant was one that provided food, but mostly they had no purpose but to be beautiful, and they made that work for them so that you, the gardener, would support their existence.
Pandas are a little like that. They are the very definition of high maintenance girl friends. (Take Babette de Panda for instance…) It is really, really expensive to have a panda around, but it’s worth it! Well, I would say that, wouldn’t I? The recent tragic loss at the National Zoo in Washington DC underscores just how delicate they are as newborns. But those which survive bring enjoyment and grace in ways which can’t be measured.
OK. Now let’s get funny!
Bob T. Panda is running for president! Huzzah! Let’s see what the Cake Party has to offer to the American voter!
Vote for Bob!
And did I mention that we have now had over 40,000 visits to the pandas here at The Panda Chronicles? Stay tuned during this election season for more from the party of pandas! There will be cake! Huzzah!

Well the “Pandas for President” movement is heating up fast! I already have two (count ’em, 2 actual supporters, although one said she would jump ship if someone else was available) I am working on my stumpy speech (that is a speech written by someone with a stumpy tail, I think) and getting platform shoes and making up a bunch of stuff…oops I mean reviewing my accomplishments. So, vote for me and I promise to serve cuppy cakes at the White House to all visitors who voted for me. I also will think about a new paint job as just “white” does not reflect the essential pandaness of being!

Vote for Bob!
Operating under the assumption that if ALL the other idiots are starting to campaign for president for the 2012 election already, than I, Bob T. Panda must announce my candidacy for that office. I understand it comes with a house and a personal chef and my very own airplane and EVERYTHING!!!! I bet I could have a different kind of cuppycake every day! Maybe two kinds. I would have to have a specially designed Pandair plane of course. Do you think I would get paid?

In thinking about election season, a few things have stuck in my brain. The main one is, do all these signs actually change anyone’s mind about who they are going to vote for? I for one, would be more inclined to vote for someone who pledged NOT to put up a bunch of signs, or at the very least, pledged that they would take all those signs DOWN the day after the election. Most of the signs and ads remind of the 2008 panda kindergarten class running around yelling nonsense and insults at each other, to absolutely NO effect. Noise for the sake of noise.
pass the donuts.

Okay, let’s take a poll here. How many of you are tired of hearing the phone ring, and then realizing it’s a “robo-call”, telling you what a lying, sack of $#!* their opponent is, and as soon as you hang up from that call, the phone rings again and it’s the first guy’s opponent, saying what a lying sack of $#!* the OTHER guy is. It’s more than a Panda can bear. (Get it?) Well, we of the Cake Party are calling for a more civilized discourse, and for getting the bad taste of over-brewed tea out of our mouth. Are we getting into the line of fire? Hmmmm…. who knows? Can’t everyone just behave and be nice? And maybe stick to actual facts?

Ok It’s also because we are working our paws to the bone on some new material, as well as working on our stumpy speech, to prepare for this year’s elections. Is there a panda running for office in your community? Join the Cake Party today! What good is tea without CAKE??????
