Olympics: Peaceful Norwegians Win At Shooting; Gun-Loving Americans Win At Snowboarding

[Note: wells coming off confidential list today have been posted.]

I wish I could write as well -- or even half as well -- as Peggy Noonan. I think she could write a column on the irony that the peaceful Norwegians take the gold in the biathlon (which includes shooting a high-powered rifle with state-of-the-art sighting) and the gun-loving, NRA Americans taking gold in both the men's and the women's snowboarding competitions at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

America's favorite in the 10-kilometer biathlon sprint, Tim Burke, finished 19th.

I'm looking forward to the day when they combine snowboarding with shooting.
