2006 Weblog Awards

The results are in.
As it turns out, concerns over vote splitting among the tolerant-leftosphere in the Best Canadian category were unfounded. In the comments section of one who shall not be linked;

And you can be sure we’ll do all we can to make sure that stinky hatemongering skank loser doesn’t win again. If those Weblog Awards people had any sense, they’d fix things so she doesn’t win either. Judging by the kind of mouthbreathing bigot scum she attracts…three of their votes only add up to one brain…and so three of their votes should only count for one…

In which case….they’d still have lost. Heh.
Thanks to everyone who voted, and I hope you discovered some new and interesting blogs in the process.

  1. Wow!! First at the congratulations line. Good on you Kate. I really appreciate the work that you do is dispelling the clouds of BS that eminate from the Dismal-Left.
    Thanks again and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.
    Pat Patrick

  2. Congratulations. The numbers say it all. Even counting at 1/3 brain per SDA vote the others don’t match the collective IQ of your support.

  3. Ah the mental midget and racist apologist/demagog for a wide cross section of losers and basement dwelling products of Ontario’s educational system.
    Mr. BLAHG himself!
    Tough titties little twitty!

  4. For she’s a jolly good fellow,
    For she’s a jolly good fellow,
    For she’s a jolly good fellow,
    That, nobody can deny.
    Hip, Hip, Horray!
    Thanks, Kate.

  5. LEFT-WING HATE MONGERS
    The fundamental problem with the left is that all movements are driven by two cognitions: the Vision and the Grievance. The Vision is a future ideal scenario (for conservatives, this is full democracy, an unimpeded economy, and opportunity for all; for Islamists, it is the society as it was with Mohammed). The Grievance is a present-time, frustrating impediment to The Vision (For conservatives, this might be the Georgian 17 yr old boy and 15 yr old girl who enjoyed oral sex, but he got 10 yrs. For Islamists, it might be the recent Dubai Film festival, with Muslim women wearing beautiful, revealing dresses). This Vision-Grievance template works for every movement from neo-nazis to boy scouts. The catastrophe for the left has been the death of their Vision, the socialist paradise. They still have many grievances (Big Corporations, economic inequities, inadequate welfare, etc), but without the Vision, they are defensive and hostile. The Cindy Sheehans, NDP, etc., are angry because their life-long Vision is dead. Socialism failed, wherever it was implemented. The moral turpitude, the wobbly high-grounding, the aimless reasoning, the constant whining, betray the permanent lack of direction, the frustrated malaise of a dying political philosophy.

  6. The outcome was preordained – and I mean that in the best way!
    It’s an honour just to add the odd comment to your work, Kate.
    God bless, Merry Christmas and I hope some one puts Mark Steyn’s ‘America Alone’ under the tree for you.

  7. Oh, what a wonderful world. Sometimes I still think of Kate and SDA as underdogs (pun intended)
    but I guess it’s time I accepted SDA as “the”
    main stream blog for Canada.

  8. Congratulations Kate.
    By the looks of it, if the “those Weblog Awards people” don’t get any “sense”, you’ll be getting your award in Vegas next year.

  9. I think it was unfair that Raymi the Minx wasn’t put into the best Canadian blog category also, but I guess it worked out for both bloggers best that way.

  10. Blew the doors off the competition !!
    Can’t even call them ‘competition’.
    Is that 3 years in a row ?? Yes it is !!
    There are many reasons;
    – Kate posts an endless supply of World topics
    – Current Topics
    – Pertinent Content
    – Important to Democracy content
    – Postings are very well researched
    – Kate is a Patsy of nobody and no orgs
    – Kate allows dissenting views, unlike MSM
    – Kate allows trolls to hang themselves
    – Postings are a no slant and no bias zone
    – sda has thousands of informed commenters daily
    – Quick wit to keep everyone on their toes
    – Kate exposes the shallowness of other blogs
    – Kate has handed so-called pro-journos their ass
    – The range of topics is incredable
    – Coined ‘socialism is a pyramid scheme’
    – Kate gallantly fights off sabotaging spamers
    – sda realizes Democracy is fragile
    – Kate realizes blogs are the silent majority
    – sda knows the UN would like to snuff it out
    – By comparison, most others are immature
    But most importantly, sda fills a pent-up demand that has been boiling for decades. Millions of Canadians have been starved for years. The MSM has been blatant in their doctoring of the news for decades with bias, slant, selective repetition, selective omission, political propaganda. And the silent Majority could do nothing about it. Until now.
    I have in front of me a Time Special Edition, December 7 1998 “Builders & Titans’, people who made a difference. Disney, Ford, Gates, Merrill, Bayer. .. Who knows, Kate, maybe someday.
    Thanks a Million
    Thanks Kate

  11. Well-deserved, Kate!
    And shame on that intolerant, bigoted loser of an extreme left-winger who wrote that nasty comment. You are sick.

  12. B..bbbbut I thought Bush and the Diebold machines were responsible for rigging the elections… Surely the lefties would never do that! (*eyeroll, stomach explodes with laughter on the floor).
    But seriously, they aren’t exactly gracious in defeat…
    OMMAG, don’t insult ALL the sociology, gender and women’s studies departments in Ontario…
    It’s promising to be a merry merry Christmas so far!

  13. Great job Kate, you deserve it!
    As for the loser’s comment, well it just shows why they are the loser. What a lack of class.

  14. the succinct point about political stripes, is that socialism was a fantastic idea….. for the 17th century.
    it is now 97% anachronistic; we now have the knowledge available ‘out there’ (by no means exclusively via public edyookashun) to equip ourselves and our school aged dependents for a productive and meaningful life, without gubbamint deep in out pockets and intruding in all aspects of daily life as maximum socialism leads to.
    personal independence and self reliance doesnt happen in an atmosphere of entitlement and government nannyism. we dont need great monolithic social programs with all the waste, duplication, heavy handedness and corruption. government needs to get back to exclusively those things which it is best at, defense, road maintenance, water supply and sewer treatment, product safety standards and building codes. things which themselves are at a great societal scale. NOT day care for instance which is very very personal. and even if it is a government offering it should be OPTIONAL.
    the leftists everywhere are in their death throes they just dont know it.
    zombies in denial.
    marxism was an experiment that lasted 80 years and it failed. in russia, china, n korea, cuba, ethiopia, eastern europe, cambodia, on and on.
    we have cherry picked and implemented the good stuff from the leftist socialist ideology and now it needs to be moth-balled if not handed over to the museum curators.
    bravo Kate !!! more than all challengers combined, what an accomplishment for a biker chick from the praries !!!

  15. the scope of the SDA victory:
    only 6 out of 44 categories had winners taking >50% with the ‘all men are liars’ for example a paper thin 0.3% over the half way mark, ie 50.3% of votes in its category.
    voting for 45th category medical/health aka respectful insolence was not shown.
    of those 6 with > 50%, SDA had the GREATEST MARGIN OF VICTORY over 2nd best, at 53.82/10.93= factor of 4.92 or ALMOST FIVE TIMES BETTER.
    bravo Catherine !!! bravo !! you really whalloped them kiddo !!!

  16. Congratulations Kate from an old Sask boy to a great Sask chick! You smoked em!
    I noticed Kinsela didn’t even make the list, what happened to all those supporters of his? Once a Liebrano, always a Liebrano. LOL

  17. Wow Kate.
    So much for the theory that left wing quacks migrate south for the winter.
    Quack Quack!
    Congrats,

  18. Congrats, Kate! You deserve the victory ever so richly! And, yes, I voted for you!
    And we see a certain one who shall not be linked nor mentioned (nor such a one’s own silly joke of a make-believe “awards” thing) has once again proven what leftists really are like, precisely as I say they’re like all the time!
    The moonbats are the sorest losers of all, aren’t they? 😉

  19. Congratulations; you are truly part of the force that is causing the pendulum to change directions.

  20. …mouthbreathing bigot scum…
    Just love the Tolerant Left’s witty “observations…”
    And proud of it.

  21. Congratulations SDA; you are truly part of the force that is causing the pendulum to change directions.

  22. WoooHooo Kate!! A big congrats on not only your win, but your continued hard work that gives the rest of we “skanks” hope that we are not being overtaken by the likes of “the one who shall not be linked” – God Forbid.
    Thanks for all you do to give we mere mortals a chance to air our thoughts and opinions, and the occasional swarming of a troll (at least you allow comments, unlike certain (WK) other leftie bloggers.
    Bask in the glow of success, girl – and have a very Merry Xmas.

  23. A big thumbs up from south of the border.
    Like in: SHE SCORES!!!…EH! HAT TRICK!!!
    Why is SDA one of three blogs that get about 95% of my clicks each day? Why do I like it? Because I can always depend on a number of links to stories that are relevant to the underlying currents driving the *systems* that effect our world today. And, instead of a lot of verbose analysis of said information, SDA usually just supplies a short, succinct comment that puts it into proper perspective. Very close to a “we report, you decide” presentation… 😉
    Recognition well deserved. Keep up the good work; we will all be better for it.

  24. Bravo, Kate! You and SDA have made a real difference to the lives of so many of us “starving”–for authentic content–Canadians.
    This has made my day! And reminded me to provide some financial support: my cheque will be in the mail pronto.
    Many thanks and congratulations!

  25. Congratulations Kate. Dogs, blogs or photogs, you’re the best. Merry Christmas and all the best in 07.

  26. Congratulations, Kate. SDA can be counted on as one of the most informative blogs around.
    Small Dead Animals; helping to put “paid” to the mainstream media. Hmmm…
    Merriam Webster’s Dictionary;
    “mainstream” is defined as “a prevailing current or direction of activity or influence”.
    Maybe the so-called mainstream media is no longer “mainstream”.
    Yep. It’s gotta be so. Even whining leftists read SDA.
    Keep up the good work, Kate!

  27. It’s pathetic, although typical, to hear that kind of hatred from the crowd that spends most of its time worrying about oppressed women and intolerant language.
    Unfortunately for those losers, it only adds sugary, sparkly icing to the Christmas cake of victory! Good work, Kate.

  28. Deserving win Kate, keep up the great work!
    We need a place to go for the facts when the MSM can’t be trusted. They are putting up misleading headlines knowing busy people don’t go beyond them for the real story.
    Case in point, the reason PM Harper was chosen by Time Magazine, they go off in all directions skewing the real story, he was chosen for all the right reasons making it an honor, not for the notoriety the Leftoids would like to make people believe.

  29. Hurray for you Kate!!
    This is all evidence that the left will not control the web…to tell us what to think or to interpret the news!No wonder they are angry!!
    and what is this ‘milk money blog’?…beats out the others too! heh!

  30. Wow that’s great Kate
    as the queen of all media would say
    “you go girl”
    congrats
    Norm

  31. Congradulations Kate!! I’m new to blogging and totally hooked. SDA is the first one I check every morning and I’m spreading the word. Your blog is such a breath of fresh air and it’s such a bonus that you pi$$ed off the bleeders too.
    I also hope you get a copy of “America Alone” for Christmas, what a read. All the best to you and your family in the New Year.

  32. Congrats Kate.
    And to the whining loser.Try prozac or valium.They won’t cure stupidity and bigotry but might make it a little easier for you to be in the same room as yourself.

  33. Super well done, Kate. The informative chatter that you contribute & link to, as well as the respect you insist on from the commenters, brings us all back.

  34. Now that is cruel Kate. \grin\
    You know that the only time that blaugher gets any traffic on his site is when you link to it.
    Congratulations on the award. It is undoubtably the best around and that inludes the rest of the world too.
