Private eyes, they're watching you... maybe less now?
President Barack Obama will ask Congress today to end the National Security Agency's bulk collection of phone records, a senior administration official told Reuters. Obama, who met with world leaders at The Hague yesterday, had already made some key decisions on changes to the NSA data-gathering programs earlier this year, including a ban on spying on allied nations.

Rifle-toting McConnell seeks firepower for re-election campaign
U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell tried to bring some firepower to his tough re-election battle on Thursday, brandishing a rifle as he strode onstage at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
McConnell hoisted the flint-lock muzzle-loading rifle over his head at the gathering of conservative leaders and Republican Party activists and handed it to Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn, a fellow Republican who has said he will retire when his term ends in January 2015.
"This is for you, for your distinguished service," said McConnell, 72, earning the biggest applause of his brief speech at CPAC.
