Senor Weaselo - January 19, 2017January 18, 2017

Ni hao ma, ladies and gents? Friendly neighborhood Senor Weaselo here, back from a whirlwind holiday adventure throughout China. Whirlwind in that I might still be slightly jet lagged (13 hour time difference) and whirlwind because I had to keep a log to make sure I knew what city I was

House of Pain, The Pilot: Senor’s wing hunt, Part 1

Senor Weaselo - December 5, 2016December 5, 2016

A New Yorker’s Postmortem on This Election

Senor Weaselo - November 11, 2016November 11, 2016

Senor Weaselo - November 4, 2016November 4, 2016

You might have heard on the news that there's an election happening soon for some government job on Tuesday.
