A Perfect Storm Of Amazing Geniuses? Not On My Watch!

THAT IS SO TRUE! You read my mind. That needs to be retired along with the phrase "perfect storm", the words "genius" and "amazing" and grizzled superiors yelling "Not on my watch!" in movies or Law and Order episodes! well done.

Banning one innocuous albeit overworked phrase puts you on a

to banning ALL innocuous albeit overworked phrases. Which would pretty much eliminate all of the MSM and most of the blogosphere.
Innocuous? More like irritating, inane, and intellectually impotent.
