It’s on days like today, with the mercury dropping and a blizzard blowing in, that an urge comes over me to visit the garage and spend a little time with a sleeping Aretha. (From better times).
After all, we share a few secrets. *

I can picture him with his Barney doll…in a heap of Rubble.
Yes…”mischeif is important”. Keep living by that motto Kate. You have made my day!
I’ve been avoiding his blog…but it was worth linking there today!
Can someone explain how it is funny to photoshop a concentration camp tattoo???
That doesn’t seem very funny to me
What’s a blizzard? We, in the banana belt of southwestern Onrario, get our blizzards at Dairy Queen. Do they deliver them out west? Do they oome in different flavours?

It’s not about the tattoo, ADS. It’s the guilty pleasure of knowing thousands of people will be laughing at the village idiot – and will continue to do so for years now that this little event will enter the blogosphere folklore.
I briefly considered it a little cruel to laugh at the village idiot, but I’ve gotten over it now.
I hear ya loud and clear:
That smell of oil, and gasoline in a garage. Both waiting for springlike weather, to set them free! Cold spring air, with a touch of sun, on white wintery skin.
Yeah I know that feeling. Ugh, I’m sure it’s like waiting for a fix! Hurry up spring, and get here!
“Please tell me you didnt photoshop that?”
Long time SDA readers will of course recall Kate busted CBC for photoshoppin’ when she spied an image named smoke2.jpg or some such thing and proved that it was a juiced up version of smoke1.jpg.
If you check the image she sent Kinsella it is named number2.jpg, which is to say she tipped him off that it was a fake.
If what you say is true, she should be ashamed of herself…faking Nazi concentration camp tattoos is not a joke
Is this true, Kate? Did you do this?
“I can picture him with his Barney doll…in a heap of Rubble.”
I get a different visual Bluetech…I see him in the stationary closet of the CJC, hunched in the fetal position, sucking his thumb, rocking back and forth humming “kum-bye-ah”… afraid to answer the phone for fear a free speech Jew with a tattoo will phone asking him to explain his position on the Jewish media and Isreal….and why he hangs out in boys rooms snapping pictures.
The last refuge of a villain is the church…or synagogue in this case.
This is not funny!!!!
Faking an image of the Holocaust for a joke is terrible, I don’t care how much you hate Kinsella
Kate Mcmillan uses Holocaust images as a joke…that is what has happened here?
This is a disgrace
Kate say you did not do it and I will believe it
It’s funny, cause Kinsella loves a fairly famous Nazi-sympathiser. But apparently making free speech arguments is worse than evading WWII and running around Montreal wearing a Nazi armband and throwing salutes. This is why Warren is a DEEPTHINKER ™ and we are the little benighted people.
Or, you know, you could not have a political hero who supported the Nazis. I much prefer people who fought for the right side in WWII. But then Warren has always sided with those engaging in genocide and crimes against humanity. It’s what the Left does, while throwing charges against those who actually want to stop these things from happening.
ADS: It wasn’t meant as a joke but a bit of high mischief. The joke is WK.
You must remember that people at sda are recovering Liberal concentration camp survivors and are deeply tormented by the prospect of being run to ground again.
So, mischief and a bit of gallows humour maybe. You know, I’m sure, that the Jews themselves are past masters of this kind of humour — which helped them survive.
If you were a frequent visitor you’d know that Kate is a great champion of the Jewish people and Israel, as are most regular posters here.
Ooof!
Something to tell the grandkids twenty years from now when they ask what “Kinsellian” means.
ADS,
The message & picture Kate sent to Kinsella in no way stated the picture was of a concentration camp tattoo. Kinsella just assumed it to be so, and was stupid enough to post it on his blogsite without checking into it any further. The message sent to Kinsella was simply;
“Dear Mr. Kinsella,
I do not share this message on my arm with many, but it speaks for
itself. You may use it if you wish. Keep up the good fight.
Signed;
A reader.”
Kate simply provided Kinsella an opportunity to make a complete ass of himself, and he wasted no time doing so.
ADS…let me guess – no one invites you to parties, do they?
“Something to tell the grandkids twenty years from now when they ask what “Kinsellian” means.”
Beautiful EBD…I’m going to start using this instead of “Orwellian”
..Orwell only wrote about fictional dystopias.
Kinsella advocates for existing Dystopian institutions.
That’s fucking sick, pure and simple.
Nice try Johnny Ringo. What kind words have you got for Kinsella for trying to exploit an image to shore up his collapsed side of the free speech arguement?
Kinsella made a fool of himself. Funny that a man that is a self desrcribed supporter of Jews and has actually written a book on Nazis, would not notice that the tattoo in question looked suspiciously like automotive VIN number.
I mean really, shouldn’t Mr. Kinsella have spotted this right away?
Obviously Johnny Ringo and ADS are lefties, so they were born without the ability to understand “funny”.
Nice one cuz.
You rock, Kate. A particularly nice touch making him think it was a tattoo from a place like Auschwitz — it never occurred to him that it could be a tattoo from Bob’s Parlour of Skin Poetry that a biker (ahem: biker-chick?) might have had placed on his/her arm to remember a true love… 😉
First off, before I even understood what was going on, I noticed that the skin sure did not look like someone who survived Auschwitz……..DUH!
It’s April right? Tell me it’s April!!!
Dang!!! Kate you made me go look at HIS website!!
Brilliantly done.
The only question I have regarding WK is did he get the gig at the CJC because of his bestest best buddy Wormwood?
Now must go wash my eyes.
Kate: I am be wrong, but I have a notion you just opened a can of worms that you’ll live to regret. You find it amusing to fake a depiction of a tatoo placed on the arm of concentration camp survivor? I wonder if you are willing to explain that Kate?

No Lionel K…the phrase is “you’ve been bested”

…so how smart are Ya anyway??
…G’wan tell us
…I know yer dying to.
Kate has brains, beauty, talent, her own successful blog, a fast bike… and more…
I am unworthy!
Sorry Kate & crew, but I’m not a fan of the “gag”… while the temptation to take a shot at Warren may have been strong, I think this one crossed the line, and was a temptation you should have resisted.
Using the suffering of the Holocost to take a cheap shot at Kinsella wasn’t cool… at least not in my books.
Have a look at WK’s blog now. Nine paragraphs whining about the horror perpetrated by Kate M, the Indian-hating Saskatchewan bigot.
But something is missing. Oh, yeah. He forgot to threaten her with a lawsuit.
…how come Kate has to look so cute?
Hey CC perhaps if you took the time to spell “holocaust” correctly you moral concern over it’s use as a political football may have some validity.
Nine paragraphs whining about the horror perpetrated by Kate M, the Indian-hating Saskatchewan bigot.”
I Told ya he wanted to tell us how smart he really was 😉
mainly a group of regular losers and hicks who come back again and again, boosting her web statistics…
The person who wrote that ain’t no Mark Steyn – in fact, he ain’t no Kate McMillan.
Signed,
regular loser and hick (and strangely proud of it)
WL Mackenzie Redux: what a typical dumb ass remark. The issue is spelling. Shut up, ok, and let’s have Queen Kate come on down and explain herself. By the way, I’ve been to your blog. You need to retire the thing. It’s covered in cowbwebs.
Mr Kinsella seems upset. Check his site again. He admits he was fooled, but as fools do, missed the point.
Mr Kinsella, if you are reading this, the point is that seeing everything as racist or anti-semitic is evidence of shallow thinking. You just proved it by falling for an obvious trick. Your shallow thinking applied as skillfully as you can in the political realm is dangerous. Fools with power are extremely dangerous. Ask any real person who lived through Hitler’s rule.
The only response to fools with power is to discredit them, make them laughing stock. You just walked into it, and proved yourself a fool.
I speak as someone whose uncle was pursued by mobs in Quebec, whose religious compatriots died in concentration camps, and whose freedom of speech and expression are directly threatened by your beloved legislation.
Anyone who would support legislation that abrogates fundamental rights should be ashamed of saying that they stand for persecuted people. Do you think that you are so powerful a protector that you could stand in the way of oppression when you have been instrumental in tearing down the legal safeguards that protect basic rights? You should be ashamed of yourself.
Derek
Hey John…go have sex with yourself…again
Kate, you are so hot!
If you are ever interested in a 37 year old classical musician of Italian origin, single, no kids, you let me know.
PS if we got married you could become a US citizen too.
He admits he was fooled, but as fools do, missed the point…
From one regular loser and hick to another, Derek, well and pithily said!
JJohn DDaly,
It’s clear to any rational person that Kate did not “fake” a death camp tattoo, nor did her note to WK say anything to that effect. It was all power of suggestion. You want to go fishing for suckers, you have to use sucker bait. Looks like Kate got herself a nice creel full.
WK could have, if he chose to do it, done a little due diligence to try to verify the provenance of the tattoo, or published it with a disclaimer, but instead, he swallowed it whole.
Confucious say, “The conclusion you jump to may be your own.”
I might be slow but I don’t get the part with the asterix and Mark Helprin’s reference.
Is that random?
Let me explain it to you:
Why do the French plant trees along boulevards?
Because the Germans like to march in the shade.
Thanks for the entertainment!
Mr Kinsella was just a little too quick to make the kind of assumptions that he specializes in making and swallowed it hook,line & sinker.
Some advice, Mr Kinsella: try thinking and investigating before you jump to conclusions; not the other way around.
i’m taking it as a given that Warman Kinsella is a graduate of either Dalhousie or Osgoode Hall.
My response to Warrens request for comments -from conservatives.
Dear Warren:
Asking for comments from conservatives is going to serve what purpose?
Perhaps some will agree with you and some not. Why not make it a non
partisan request for responses? There might be some liberals out there who
think you are the one at fault for using the imagry – which at first
inspection raises the question of why someone would tattoo a VIN number on
thier arm. It is only when it is viewed in the context that you have
created based on previous posts that one might think that this image has
anything to do with the Holocaust.
You saw what you wanted to see. Kate McMillan was clever enough to know that
you would use it in the fashion you did. You got had but mostly because you
were too hasty or too lazy or a bit of both.
As someone who has written books on Nazis, I would have thought that you
would be the first to spot an obvious fake.
Trying to spin this as a “Holocaust joke” on the part of Kate McMillan is a
bit rich. Who says that were it real that the person bearing the tattoo
would be Jewish? “It was not only Jews who were marked: all prisoners other
than ethnic Germans and police prisoners were tattooed.” (Jewish Virtual
Library)
Kate sent you an imaage, you did the rest. Take some responsibility.
“i’m taking it as a given that Warman Kinsella is a graduate of either Dalhousie or Osgoode Hall”
I don’t care where your politics fall…now THAT is funny!! LOL 😉
Whoooeee I gits ta hang ma ‘loser n hick’ pennant with ma ‘redneck’ pennant and ma ‘knuckle dragger’ pennant.
Purty soon I gonna have more pennants than them thar New York Yankiis.
‘I might be slow but I don’t get the part with the asterix and Mark Helprin’s reference.’
From Helprin as quoted:
“Nicolo, mischief is important”
Derek
For the record – it’s not a “vehicle registration number”, as WK now claims. It is an engine serial number. The vehicle registration number is assigned by the government registry, not the manufacturer.
BTW: The 4Y3 will show up in the manufacturer assigned VIN, the 000766 might (but there is a good chance it won’t).
I can picture him with his Barney doll…in a heap of Rubble.
Yes…”mischeif is important”. Keep living by that motto Kate. You have made my day!
