Buffalo Beast has gone

Buffalo Beast has gone - The online news site Buffalo Beast has gone offline after publishing a prank phone call between Wisconsin Gov.

Scott Walker and a Buffalo Beast editor who posed as David Koch.

The Buffalo Beast website seems to be suffering from traffic overload, causing many to see this message: "Error establishing a database connection." Some pages also say, "The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

It's not the first time the Web has made the news in the Wisconsin protests. A pro-union website was blocked at the Capitol Building in Madison.

The Buffalo Beast was founded in 2002 as an alternative biweekly newspaper in Buffalo, N.Y. It became an online-only news operation in 2009.
