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), [...]

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...

Kyle Smith has a great op-ed in the NY Post on the silence at the New York Times on the Van Jones resignation. An excerpt: On Sept. 5 (still no word about Van Jones being a Red Green), the Times’ crack political team informed us that the Naked Cowboy was dropping out of the mayoral race. On Sept. 6, The Times broke the story that “Diane Sawyer, coolly regal, is a born anchor, albeit in...
