You know what’s even more overhyped than a partial eclipse?
The panda. I know I sound like a curmudgeon, but every time I see the panda at the National Zoo, I can’t help but think, “Yup. It’s a bear. Black and white, but really, just another bear.”
My friends find bears wandering in their suburban backyards all the time. Larger, more impressive bears than this solitary, bamboo-eating machine.
Even Charlie wasn’t all that impressed.
