Butterstick vs Tonka vs China Washington, magnificent
Update 8/26/2005:
I was able to locate a secondary camera through the Animal Planet web site thanks to NPR.com to compensate for the National Zoo's pathetic camera capacity. Kitty Eisele reported on NPR today about her obsession with the national zoo's panda cams. During the story, she gave sad props to "The Bloggers' " campaign to name the cuddly cub "Butterstick", using a tone of voice to ennuciate "the Bloggers" as a fundamentalist Christian would mention "The Gays" or senior citizens would mention "The Cancer." (could this be a commentary from the media about bloggers' roll in today's culture?) Anyway, the implied response to "The Bloggers" request is that "Butterstick" is now "built like a Tonka truck". Funny how that didn't appear as an option either, cause I might have voted for Tonka assuming Butterstick wasn't an option. Note to Kitty: DC is quickly turning from a Blue State to a Butterstick state...oh wait....they seem to be the same thing.
Note to San Diego: You're pathetic.
Vote Butterstick!
