How do you make a viral web hit that scores more than 7 million views in 24 hours? Film a two-minute clip in 45 minutes, keep to one location and rely on friends and family for cast and crew. Of course, it doesn't hurt if you're friends with comedian Will Ferrell, and that your foul-mouthed 2-year-old daughter is hilarious.

Looking for clues as to whether the standoff over Iran's nuclear program will lead to a military confrontation? You'll probably find more in how the case of the 15 British Navy personnel seized by Iran last Friday plays out than in the diplomatic process that on Saturday resulted in a mild increase in sanctions against Tehran.

Next time he runs for president, things will be different. That was Al Gore's pledge to Democrats after the 2000 election: "If I had to do it all over again, I'd just let it rip. To hell with the polls, the tactics and all the rest. I would have poured out my heart and my vision for America's future."

Lt. Ehren K. Watada of the U.S Army,who refused to go to Iraq, read too many books. The 28-year-old officer is heading for a court martial on account of doing so. At this juncture, no reason exists to consider drawing up a list of forbidden books. For anyone else risking life and limb, the blurred definition of victory slowly corrodes their will.
