I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and the best thing that ever came from Al Franken was Stewart Smalley.

The European Union has decided to allow employers to refuse to hire smokers. Good news, if you ask me. If I own a business, I should be able to hire and fire folk for the bettering of my business. For some reason, a few out there feel that businesses are a social construct and are not designed to make money for the employer.

It looks like Markos Moulitsas of the DailyKos is in for his first win! That's right, after years of supporting losing leftwing candidates, he finally picked a winner. Ned Lamont is steaming ahead by 10 points and it looks like George Bush, I mean Joe Lieberman, will be out on his tail come January. In all fairness, congratulations Lamont and Kos. I'm confused, though. After Ned brings home all the troops, what will he do in the Senate?

Floyd Landis, Tour de France winner, failed a second drug test. All of the other tests on the tour turned up clean, but on the day of the most greuling of the lengthy race, Mountain Day, his testosterone came up three times higher than his normal hormonal level. Sounds damning, but some are saying that it was just a fluke. I don't know, and don't really care. In fact, I'm sure I just put this little tidbit up to fill space and waste your time.

The nerds are getting anxious for tomorrow's Apple WWDC. The rumormills are speculating a feature set of the newest Leopard OS, Vista 2.0, a merging to Blue-Ray, and the announcement of the next iPod having WiFi. I don't see anything big for tomorrow, but come January's MacWorld Expo, the biggest announcements in a few years will boost the company's image past the current financial problems.

Bob Novak: Please stop speculating! In fact, stop writing. You're taking up space on Townhall that could be used by more talented writers.

I've got a few things to say about Mel.
