After volunteering to Adler guest host Christy Clark that he had "a quarter million readers a day" during the last federal election, I pulled up Warren Kinsella's traffic stats page. (screenshot) He's currently averaging 4,300.
Now, I'll give him credit where it's due - he makes them publicly available. (Which is more than Bourque will ever risk.) But after calling to point out that he was guilty of counting "hits", not "readers", and that his traffic during the election campaign actually averaged around 12,000 visits a day - he suddenly declared traffic to be unimportant. and he'd leave that to the "propeller heads".
Heh. I now believe him when he claims he knew nothing about Adscam.
And thanks to caller "Lloyd", who came to the defense of SDA after the Kinsella cheap shot. Why is it that Liberal politicos go into "drone defense" - speaking slower .. and .. slower ... and ... slower ... never ... stopping ... for ... breath...when they know we know they're full of "bs"?
Warren Kinsella - the poor man's Ralph Goodale!
(In the spirit of full disclosure, here's a screenshot of mine.)
Watch it, Kate. The little sissy might sue you.
I just happened to be driving to get lunch (Adler was on QR77) and heard the name "Kate" (Is it? Maybe. Never heard her voice before.) and then a careful (as to a child) description of hits vs readers, started laughing, and thought, that's gotta be Kate and this will be on her site when I get back to work.
And so it was.
Ha!
He was right about one thing; it's not about how many people look at your site, it's that the right people look at your site. Persuade them and things happen. Right, SoWs?
Kate, if stats turn you on, great. I don't care. Knock yourself out.
I do note, however, that you've declined to tell your readers that you permitted posting here from people saying my children deserve to be raped, and so on. I mentioned that during the show, and you kind of went silent, at that point.
Anyway. Good luck to you, in your quest for bigger and better statistics.
Silly me.
I thought this was going to be about David Warren - that's to say, someone interesting with something different to say.
Turns out it was Warren Kinsella.
YAWN...
I know Warren is afraid of links, but could he at least point us in the direction of this "guest blogger" who allegedly said such terrible things?
Ah right. Being female, I tend to forget.
Size doesn't matter
But speaking of the comment you referenced during the interview, do you recall linking approvingly to Canadian Cynic?
http://canadiancynic.blogspot.com/2005/07/situational-logic-right-wing-style.html
And you were just as gracious in airbrushing that post and delinking him.
I'd call it even. :)
It wasn't a guest blogger. It was a commentor (now banned). There have been over 113,000 reader comments made to SDA, and that was the only one which he found worthy of complaining about.
Warren:
In the spirit of full disclosure here's my stats:

Enjoy both blog sites---you are both bright, literate individuals. Let's leave it at that, shall we?
I listened to a portion of that today - good on you.
atta way to go Kate...we were driving from Melfort to St.Brieux where we reside and I told my wife, hey I think that's OUR KATE, sure even it was great how you stumped poor Kinsella and you're right these guys start talking and just about pass out cause they do not quit talking cause you might then be able to "say something" but they do not give you a chance............atta girl we are proud of you......we go to your site daily and many times more than once a day to see what is happening thanks again
Ah, priceless...
Kate sprinkled some Holy Water of Truth upon the Prince of Darkness...
"Ouch!" Spake the Prince...
Heh! :b
Hey, is that the same Warren Kinsela who plays teh bass for "The Receding Hairlines"?

Doesn't anyone have an MP3 of this show I can download? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
Bass player in a punk band - thud thud thud thud! What's up, couldn't master the triangle?
"Bass player in a punk band - thud thud thud thud! What's up, couldn't master the triangle?"
Thats actually a mildly amusing line...and yet is irrelevant at the same time since Punk was/is never about talent....
Good line though....
Good Lord,
That's wild, Kate. I get about 200, and that's after the infamous SDA linkage fiasco (I was about 150/day prior). Like Kinsella, at least I have massive growth potential... you're topped out :)
My favorite "offense" against ad hominem argument: "I agree; I AM a miserable excuse for a human being...Now, exactly how does this prove me wrong?"
Warren - step one to making friends (and influencing people): having the grace to admit you are wrong when you ARE wrong.
Kate, by observation, is rarely required to do this.
Good gravey Kate. You could have left him his shorts, for dignity's sake . (O:}
Glad you where on. They where making fun of most bloggers(conservative), as a bunch of old guys living with Mom in the basement, blogging in there undies.
The fact christy Clark, (What a perky name) implied most blogs where male. Which we all know is complete tripe.
The imlication as well that most bloggers just started there own media because there nuts. The inendo was conservatives, libertarians, et all. Are just imagining progresives in the media have been in a conspiracy towards them to shut out real news.
Gee I wonder how that slander started?
They had a good laugh over that thought without even exploring it. There journalists after all. Thanks Kate, for standing up to be counted.
Sean: Go to the CJOB website(linked on Adler's name) and click into the audio vault. All the past shows should be available for listening. Way to go Kate! Any chance of a televised mud-wrestling match live on pay-per-view with you and Warren?
I'm just holding my breath waiting for his hordes of devoted followers to descend. So far, the only one coming to Kinsella's defense is ... Kinsella.
Although Kate is my favourite and first read of the day [ slight crush involved here]
I enjoy Warrens' insight from a Liberal perspective and also because he is not afraid to call his own party on some of their bullshit.
"Please keep all toys in the sandbox"

Yes, is there anywhere that the shows are archived?
I also enjoyed Christy Clarks' hosting way more than Adler
Thanks, mrtisaduffer
Well, in any event, he gets more hits than I do.
Kinsella who? NEVER heard of him. Must be one of those MSM types that do nothing but lie, lie, LIE!
The "quarter million readers a day" consisted of these referrers:

Do you see why I can't do an excerpt?
A most respectable comment by ian...yes in spite of his Liberal blood, he can pose interesting points of view...I skip the SFH stuff.
The CJOB audio vault, today, start around 2:46...
My impression of SDA and Kinsellas blogs are that Kate is concerned with being correct factually and consistent ideologically whereas Warren is concerned with "winning".
When one bases their arguements and ideological posistions on simply winning then one does really not stand for anything at all. Win at all costs truth be damned sums up Kinsella well, and it is perhaps why he is a successful lawyer.
But like a typical GTA liberal, Warrens position will be whatever is good for him today, yesterdays position being relegated to the dust bin.
Or as Warren said himself
"· Conservatives' ideology is their ideology: tax cuts, law and order, and so on. That kind of stuff. The Liberal ideology is, to be blunt, winning. Grits like to win, and they've had a lot of practice at winning. They're good at it. Right now, they're miserable, sure, because they LOST. But there's no better motivator for a Liberal than a loss. It gets them to where they most like to be: with their foot on a Conservative or New Democrat windpipe, watching them gasp for air until Election Day. That's when Liberals are happiest. It makes them smile. "

And thus in a single paragraph Warren illustrates why Liberal Party members are valueless, ideologically bankrupt, empty suits.
"...and yet is irrelevant at the same time since Punk was/is never about talent...."
Kind of like being in politics.
*snort*
I listen to QR77 everyday...allday while I'm banging siding on the wall. Christy Clark is without a doubt the sleaziest Liberal apologist I've ever heard on the chorus radio network.
Yesterday she was gushing all over Eddie Goldenberg and his fascinating insights into the Cretin regime. Puke...barf...
Today she identifies WK as the "premier blogger" in all of Canada. Double puke...double barf.
When I heard she had Kate on as a supposed counterpoint I hung on every word. What did ya get Kate.....15 seconds? Yet you managed to verbally bitch slap that smarmy punk. Good on ya!
I know you didn't get a chance to respond to the "rapin the kids" thing. But I got cut off to.
Slimey, sleazy, synchophants.
Synchro
P.S. You're welcome....keep showing the truth.
Christy Clark is a local fill-in on cknw radio here. Her husband is a big shot federal liberal organizer. She's LIBERAL through and through, a real pain in the ass.
Just for fun - from 3w.alexa.com ... traffic rankings.

"And thus in a single paragraph Warren illustrates why Liberal Party members are valueless..."
Indeed, Ward, kinsella unwittingly provides an insight into a truly vile group of people. I know he doesn't get it, but maybe some liberals are sufficiently ethically empowered to object to his description. Or maybe he gets them horny...
Just for the hell of it I went to Kinsella's site to see what the fuss was about. I may be wrong, but I noticed that there were no comments enabled. Perhaps if he did allow it he would have more action. However, his weak little stab about an anon poster regarding children and rape is definetley weak sauce and proves that he wouldn't be able to handle a comment section. I mean my God, even Mc-la-la-land allows comments on his blog
Keep it up Kate, you are my first blog stop of the day.
Warren K ssid:
"I do note, however, that you've declined to tell your readers that you permitted posting here from people saying my children deserve to be raped, and so on. I mentioned that during the show, and you kind of went silent, at that point."
Warren K caught in a lie. Changes the subject and becomes the victim. You can just hear the high pitched tantrum if you where face to face with him.
The original lie about stats., of course is to attract readers because hey this is a busy site.
We finally puked them out of office because of this garbage. They just don't get it. He dosn't think people can see through this crap.
That either of you - Kinsella or Kate whoever you are - believe truly that you have significant influence on public policy is testament to the insular and delusional little world that this blogosphere has become - like minded people congregating to become even more rigid in their thinking.
I check things from time to time to see what the shrillest partisans on both sides are spouting, thus my lurking here and there from time to time.
No fan of Kinsella, but recall that he did have an actual public role at one point while Kate did not, though this does not indicate any particular "merit" or advantage in this little pissing match.
If blogs like these on all sides really influence public policy then we are in even more trouble than I thought.
Kate, heard you today on the car radio. Great to hear your voice,too bad we couldn't hear more of you and less of whimps like Kinsella or the great Lieberals like Christy Clark. I thought old Warren was going to blow a gasket trying to keep talking so you couldn't get a word in edgeways.Have you noticed that is the Lieberal way, blah,blah,blah with nothing to say. Just chasing their tails round and round. First Warren said that bloggers have nothing to say then he contradicts himself by telling everyone they can get their voice heard by starting a blog!Make up your mind Warren.
I just happened to have the radio on in the truck today as well, and had a good laugh when hearing a caller Kate pop the great ego bubble, then finding out it was you, funny as hell, you did well.
Influence public policy? Me?
Good God, man - pay attention. This political stuff is what I do to fill time while waiting for penis news to break.
Oh dear. This comment is _so_ destined for the spam filter.
Kate, if "they" ever do allow cloning people can I have two of you, and one Michelle Malkin just so I don't ever have to listen to people like that again. I like dogs.
canadian,
You would be what? ... the honest broker?
From now on your name is Sally.
Amazing. Simply amazing. Kate, of small dead animals and of small town fame, is calling the great Canadian mainstream media to task and they do not like it one bit. Tough.
Kate,12000+ hits/day, MacMillan is the Sheila Fraser of the MSM. A service more essential than the Auditor General's. Not a stretch at all. The AG can save us money, Kate is saving our Democracy.
Take it easy on Warren. He has had a bad couple of days, running out of ammo. Chretien no-nation,.. ah, Dion-no-nation, .. well, ah Rae no-nation then. And after all, with the copp's help, he ousted PMPM in favour of PMSH.
the reason that that phoney adler or didler whatever his name has that christy clark was on is that she is no threat to his pathetic show like roy green is. he is such a loser and old mother that gets her two sons fighting and then screams stop when they do, that he puts a toronto idiot on to not show him up. his phoney accent is enough for me to turn him off every day, i listen for pertinent topics but the size of david millers gaunch and that girly man warren kinsellas choice of latte makes me run to cjay or something like Q107
Thanks, I always am interested in people with ideas.
Is Christy’s brother Bruce, a federal liberal executive member, still under criminal investigation?
When Judges let Pedophiles loose, again and again, is that worse than saying I hope your children get raped ??
Talk about deflating. I thought I was seeing things. You could almost hear the air rushing out of McGuinty amd Miller, standing there, on stage, WITH Prime Minister Steven Harper. Either they are far better men than I thought(citizens before politics) or the PM had a gun in His pocket.
