About "at the end of the day..."

George Will just used the phrase during the panel segment on ABC.

The phrase has been around forever, but it's reserved for "intellectual discussions and scholarly debates." In order to sound like that's what they're doing the drive by media and the Senate House are filled with people who use phrases like this.

My theory is that because of this negative association with the pompous and effete it has fallen out of favor among us commoners.
