Rusty The Panda

I'm a male red panda living at the National Zoo in D.C.. I love trees, napping all day, foraging, and @ggreenwald. I am the People's Panda!

@GSWA Guess I'll have to try one of those locally-grown, handcrafted artisanal bamboo salads next time I'm on the lam!

The Man may have caught me today, but I'm optimistic that forthcoming austerity measures will take a big cut out of the Panda Security team.

I deny those accusations. MT @Dan_Singer Off to the National Zoo to find Rusty! My guess is that he went to see One Direction last night.

@jenbo1 I'm a 1-year-old panda and I figured out how to open a smartphone contract – what more do you want from me?
