I'm inside on this Fourth of July, down with a nasty head cold. The kids are out, Turtle is not around, the World Cup game is over and I'm thinking of just toasting to America with a bottle of NyQuil and going to sleep. It's just me and five leftover pizzas from last night here. And pizza, while tasty, isn't very good company.

However, my loneliness and boredom has lead me here to remind you (or maybe tell you for the first time) that voting in the 70's punk rock album poll will end at approximately midnight EST tonight. So get over there and vote if you haven't already. And get over there and vote even if you have. Right now it looks like the Ramones s/t is going to run away with this and that's not a bad thing. Just...don't disappoint the spirit of our founding fathers. Vote. It's what they wanted you to do. And I really, honestly believe that George Washington would have dug the Ramones. Jefferson was probably more of a Stooges kind of guy. And you know Sam Adams would be all about The Damned.

And hey, start putting on your punk rock thinking cap, because the 80's nominations will open in the morning. I have a feeling this is going to get very heated and very interesting.

Time to chug that coma-in-a-bottle. No, not gin. The Big N. Because they haven't yet bottled the goodness that is the Big T.
