...quarterly earnings, Google's shares lingered around $300 - a long way from last August's $85 debut price - and at least one analyst predicts they will hit $400. And revenue and profit unveiled at Yahoo! had a healthy glow, too. Innovation has been key at all three, says Standard & Poor's Internet equity analyst Scott Kessler: "They have amazing virtual research labs - those websites."

(There have been far more pointed comments on the war on FX's big-network brother, Fox. Arrested Development has satirized the war repeatedly, while 24 explored wartime torture in excruciating detail.) Any partisan objections will probably have to do with what it omits: for doves, big-picture considerations like the phantom WMD; for hawks, any attention to good news from Iraq...
