I'm sick and tired of it on the current events board because it derails discussions about serious topics. Everywhere else is fine.

"The public perception of our legitimacy is at its lowest ebb ever recorded. What could we possibly do to drive it to even greater depths?"

Sotomayor and Thomas absolutely fist-bumped each other on this one.
