A lefty gets his aneurysm!
News, National - "World’s best conservative blogger from small town Sask"
Wendy Gillis (editor-in-chief) did a decent job converting our email/telephone interview into a readable piece, though a few errors and misquotes creep in near the end (the most important of which she might have passed on to cartoonist, Matthew Stefanson - I'm not a member of any political party, and told her so.)
Nonetheless, this had me laughing out loud.
You can go here to download the original article from The Sheaf (pdf -24 megs), or click here for a .jpg version of the piece itself.
Kate, we want to see photos! photos! photos! Are you afraid of the male drool factor?
? ... that is a photo.
You weren't vilified. What the heck's happening to our universities?
I love the cartoon -- you look like an iconoclastic, brawling genius with a fifty-mile wide stubborn streak. In other words...
I would get the original cartoon. Its great. You & Pamela Geller share the same feelings on the O. Check out Atlas today . Don't worry, Brad will coma a crawling back election time .
Does anyone else see a pouncing schnauzer on the upper left corner of the blackboard. Or am I having a Rorschach moment?
Page 12 -- Kate and Brad when times were good.
"...a random photo of a dead gopher"...a gopher??! That's no stinkin gopher folks. Kate should re relate the story of said gopher.
""""though a few errors and misquotes creep in near the end""""
isn't this the sort of thing WE discuss in here a lot, fact one of your pet peeves???:-)))))
Good article. I will be sending it on to a few people who will then re-enact the infamous scene from 'Scanners'.
Well, after checking out the rest of The Sheafs paper I can only come to the conclusion that giving anyone there driving directions is a waste of time. Every attempt at following the map would cause them to drive in a counter-clockwise(LEFT)circle, since any attempt at taking a right turn could lead them down the roads of their evil parents.
Shouldn't the cartoon Kate be wearing leather?

Good catch......
Nice article really.
It's great how the University has a Muslim appreciation weekend, converting as many as they can. Not a single word about the worldwide Jihad against non-believers, nor anything about their abhorrent, treacherous and seriously violent "religion".
Some "reporting".
They are all the same. If they think (in their minds) it is a smear, they will use it. If they can smear, they will. Hence the Logo on the sweather.
...me thinks the sheaf is begging for attention since the BJ Jesus one.
Good on the folks that noticed the CPC logo on Kates sweater and the Schnauser Rampant on the black board.
Luck the interview ended when it did. Probably would have gotten strange quite quickly.
Nicely done as always Kate. I wonder how many caught the subtle irony?
Syncro
On Page 7, this is so ironic, it had me rolling on the floor:
"No one can teach anyone else. That’s a myth. It’s a scam. It’s a con. People can only teach themselves.
DAVID NOBLE
York Professor"
Given that's the only way you can apparently get an education at York, it must be true. What an idiot.
Congrats. I was hoping that winning the award would get you some press.
We are getting to them too. Listen to this quote from "Depressed" over at Open Left
"I'm very depressed today. I really don't get it. I've been defending Obama from the worst attacks on this site, but I'm wavering mightily."

Bwa ha ha ha ha....
Great exposure. Just the beginning of more to come.
Good thing she didn't know about your pending book: Roadkill Recipes for the Liberal Gourmet.
Great job Kate, keep it up, believe it or not, you are making a difference.
Every time a libby comes to this site to bitch, they have to be thinking, maybe there is something to what she's saying.
And always know that a Liberal is just a Conservative who's brain hasn't been kick-started yet.
Alas, the fun of reading Kate's interview was marred by the story about the idiot who converted to Islam at a campus event.
Pretty ironic since Christian groups who evangelized on campus would be considered 'hate groups'
Dunno Kate...I just saw another subtle sneering Lefty put down of you and SDA...the underlying theme is that in spite of popularity and political successes SDA is still a conduit for evil racist right wing extremists.
So be it! Come and get some lefty!
....the underlying theme is that in spite of popularity and political successes SDA is still a conduit for evil racist right wing extremists.....
And of course it contained the predictable obligatory tie-in with SDA to Harper and the CPC....The cartoon CPC logo is a subtle smear but a political smear none the less and as you say, I proves most published editorials are agenda driven with a partisan filter.
no kudos from CBCpravda for Kate, this is the last date I can find there is a mention
http://www.cbc.ca/news/blogwatch/2008/02/canadian_bloggers_holocaust_pr.html
I wouldn't be too upset about the C logo. SDA won Best Conservative Blog. To some people conservative is a party and not a way of living your life. The attack Schnauzer...not a clue.
"idiot who converted to Islam at a campus event"
I want to read a story about a guy or gal who tries to de-convert from Islam at a campus event. Ya know, without self-detonating in the process.
Certainly seems to have given WK an aneurysm.
Anyone else read his babbling yesterday ?? Un-beh-eff-in-leave-a-bull !!
I saw that. He accuses us (and me, presumably) of being paid off by the party, all the while, not supporting it through donations.
Wouldn't that make us Liberals?
the sheaf. hmmm not wheat eh?
EDB -- pouncing schnauzer -- had to do a double take but it is! Ha
In the mid 60s I was an engineering student at the UofS. Someone on campus started painting the letter E in red on anything that didn't move.
The Sheaf was right in there, blaming the Engineers and our Council for the vilest of bad behaviour. The paint job went on for a while and the Sheaf ate it up - really dumping on the Engineers.
Finally, the culprit was caught. Turned out to be an Artsman, not an engineer.
Apologies from the Sheaf? Nah. Dead silence.
Speaking of having fun provoking people, hey, that's what I do, too. In fact, I first started to do that back in '95 at university on a class e-mail discussion "list". Well, I pretty much became addicted to leading the discussion... in a way, it was like a big, shared blog, with posts and comments going back and forth...
I recall saying, at the end of the course, that I learned that one can get people talking by saying something shocking. Sure enough, it works, as one can see here on SDA...
Besides, there's nothing fun about thinking what one's told to think. It's more fun to find out the inconvenient truth that other folks are afraid to acknowledge... and blurt it out! That's what society needs, this politically-incorrect, taboo truth-telling. Funny how the Left claims to have pioneered that, while, in fact, they really just went around spreading socialist nonsense, which eventually, somehow, became widely considered to be "truth" simply because "everyone's saying it, the media's saying it, therefore it's gotta be true".
The internet's impact on civilization is actually far greater than most folks realize since they haven't heard of it yet via the Big Media, who doesn't want to promote something that'll only hurt them by exposing them as biased propagandists, spinners and cover-up-ers. And the impact of the internet has barely begun to be felt, actually.
schnauzer it is....cool man!
Congratulations on the award. Although I don't always agree with everything you say, I pretty much relied on your site for quality - and straight - info on the Mark Steyn fiasco: its sad that no one else covered it, and then you get vilified by these other groups for "bias".
Personally, I was amazed the Sheaf was as balanced as it was, and didn't misspell your name.
Cheers.
