I take a back seat to no one when it comes to my fascination with Sarah Palin, and I have never read anything so cogent and insightful about her as Kyle Smith’s piece (“Raked Alaska,” PostScript, Nov. 22). I am troubled by those liberals who would ha...

In the interests of full disclosure, Sarah Palin was not my first choice for VP in 2008. Frankly, she was not on my short list! (I had Romney, Huckabee and Pawlenty with Guiliani as the wild card) She is not choice for 2012 either! I don't like the way that she resigned or her overall lack of experience. Don't get me wrong: I love Palin! Palin's life (i.e. making it without a rich or powerful husband...

Kyle Smith brought up this point today in his New York Post column – that the Sarah Palin book tour is providing a wonderful distraction of the foibles of the Obama administration, which recently fumbled its trip to China, fell flat on its face over Recovery.org and the phantom congressional districts, not to mention rising [...]

Michael Moore and I don’t agree on much - except maybe the merits of a good cheeseburger. But it’s time to praise Moore for his contributions to film, especially since it was just announced his latest film didn’t make the cut for the Best Documentary category this year. (Hat Tip: Kyle Smith) It’s hard to believe “Capitalism: [...] Related posts: The last word on Michael...

Kyle Smith: Sarah Palin is going rogue. The Democrats are going rottweiler. Liberals in the media make heinous personal attacks, dress up quibbles and debating as “fact-checking” and compare her to such noxious harridans as Evita Peron and Madonna . Newsweek went with a cover photo of a picture of her in running shorts to degrade her to the level of a spokesmodel and Stephen Colbert broke...

When Summit Entertainment surpisingly canned Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke from New Moon in favor of Chris Weitz , who just so happens to be a penis-having dude, many predicted that the franchise would take a disappointing turn. Aside from the fact that the second entry in the four-part Twilight franchise features very little of Edward Cullen, that sparkle-chested hunk of lustful vampire meat,...

This quote from John Derbyshire's book, We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism, which I found via a review by Kyle Smith, in National Review, gave us opportunity for discussion and encouragement 'round the construction site: American parents are now all...

In “What’s ‘V’ Really About'” (Nov. 10), Kyle Smith sees the show as a metaphor for President Obama and his administration. This new version of “V” follows the same basic storyline as the original series, which was produced in the 1980s. Were the cre...

By KYLE SMITH (NY POST) — At last, conservatives have our Tina Fey. ABC’s thrilling and politically potent new sci-fi series “V,” whose second episode airs tonight at 8 on ABC, pits the paranoids against the Obamanoids — and it’s the paranoids who see the truth. Through the honeyed tones of the alien leader Anna (Morena Baccarin), [...]

Kenneth Durden: "NFL's Pink Silliness" The libertarian-conservative, on the NFL's embrace of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month: "While thousands of men die every year from cancer, mostly from not getting screened for treatable prostate cancer and dectecting [sic] early stage colon cancer, the NFL is still using resources to promote breast cancer 'awareness.' As far as public health...

Obama’s fumbles on ‘Monday Night Football’ BY: Kyle Smith Remember that time President Bush interrupted the Emmy telecast to tell people we should support reform of Social Security before it bankrupted the country? Neither do I. Yet when I tuned in to watch "Monday Night Football" this week to check out the Miami Dolphins’ Wildcat offense, I didn’t expect to...

After picking up my new copy of National Review (not yet available online), I noticed that the first book under review was 'We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism', by NR writer John Derbyshire. Unsurprisingly, the review--courtesy of New York Post film critic Kyle Smith--is a rave ("delightful", "wide ranging", and "gratifying"). Derbyshire is extremely politically...

The NY Post unleashed a calumny yesterday against the city's 13,000 bodegas and small groceries-accusing them, without any attempt at context, of price gouging: "What they lack in size they make up in price. New Yorkers know that bodegas hike the prices of staples such as toilet paper and milk, but they may not realize how high the markups have climbed. A Post price survey found that shoppers...
