Re-introducing the Beaver into the wild

The beaver. What an animal.

It's so all-round fantastic in fact that it is the proud symbol of this most exceptional instituion, the LSE. Presumably chosen for it's industrious, hard-working qualities, and it's ability to build relatively huge damns over fast running water (often causing great damage to ecosystems that it is alien to) with it's freak-tail. If this Hack-a-job could be transformed into any single animal in the entire of Nature's kingdom, it would probably be a beaver. They are just too good.

With about two weeks to go until the riveting SU elections, the big branch of the Media Group thought it just fine to include next-to-no-info on the most important political period of a Hack's year in this week's edition. What's going on chaps and chapesses?

The Hack Attack could be fair and admit: 'Sure, the nominations weren't in when you went to print, and not a lot was going on the week before apart from Wally's little palava, so it was probably a reasonable editorial decision to leave all talk of this election rubbish out.'

But, there was, like, nothing...

Why not re-claim the spirit of the Name and use some sort of waxy-freak-tail to to update your pretty slick looking blog with loads of juicy goss that will be regarded as having some sort of integrity (unlike the 'competition')?

This Hackimon desires a Beaver with a ravenous sex-drive; ready to re-colonise it's rightful place in this wild, wet environment.

The LSE Observer's food-for-thought on the subject is testiment to it flexing it's wings gracefully in this stormy climate. Perhaps the Beaver should steal all the twigs that the Observer used to make it's nest and build a f**k-off huge damn..?
