Today's Wall Street Journal has a great article on a machine gun shoot at Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Ky. After reading the piece, I want to go out and fire a .50-cal sniper rifle -- talk about fun!

Tonight's "60 Minutes II" features a State Department career foreign service officer who claims that the U.S. intelligence regarding Iraq was "sexed up" a la Andrew Gilligan.

The RIAA has sued a 12-year-old and a grandmother, along with hundreds of others, for allegedly downloading music over the Internet.
