NRO’s “The Corner” posted this first. Somebody should tell the loser in the background that the cameras were running! Don’t know who it is, but The Beast does know what Rep. DignPoke’s opponent will be running for videos come the next election cycle.
The Beast did not get far enough into the [...]
Some posts hit the net and sink into obscurity almost instantly. Some last. The aforementioned “Man Shortage” post (penned in the waning days of autumn) belongs to the latter category and due to renewed interest, The Beast has decided to dig it up for one more trot around the graveyard.

Every day when The Beast checks his blog stats (ok, every six minutes), he notices that in the “Your Readers Clicked The Following Links On Your Page” category, a dozen or so of you have clicked on The BeetleWeasel.

The Beast is forty-five years old and, consequently, he remembers quite clearly that point in recent history when the worldwide socialist movement imploded, taking along with it the hopes and dreams of multitudes of Euro-hippie peaceniks.
As the old adage goes; “watch what you ask for, you may get it!”. The gettee’s in 1990-92 were the [...]
One of The Beast’s friends used to work at a psychiatric hospital and has some very funny stories about life in the loony bin. This is the best so far:
