Bob CollinsNone of the hand-wringing about the effects of a government shutdown at midnight or the potential default on the government’s obligations later this month have swayed any politicians in Washington.

It’s a panda, as observed on Panda Cam, acting very Congress-like today: sleeping.
The Zoo announced via Twitter today that your panda-watching days are over at midnight.
During a #shutdown, all vehicle, pedestrian & bike paths into the Zoo will be closed. None of our live animal cams will be broadcast.
