Everyone. Breathe.

So all this mess about the debt ceiling, BBAs, and everything else is certainly a mess. As manufactured as the nature of the "crisis" is, it's still hard not to be dismayed by the manner in which our leaders in Congress are handling business.

I'm really looking forward to ranting and raving some more, and by the way things are going, it looks like I'll have plenty of material.

So, in one of the most punk rock posts to ever grace this blog, let's tackle skateboarding and smoking.

In that vein, let's kick off our 2010 Summary with a Top Albums Countdown.
