At the end of the day, this can only be a good thing...

One thing I noticed right around September 2001, was the growth of the phrase "At the end of the day" as a conversation halter. It annoyed me. It seems so lazy to add that to pretty much any sentence. Well, I'm here to tell you, my dear reader that "Can only be a good thing" is the "at the end of the day" for 2008. Where "at the end of the day was used by people to replace actual conclusion making, "this can only be a good thing" falls into almost the same category. That is all.
