According to "The Pseudo Anti-Establishment Dictionary for Dummies, How to Help Republicans Win." Just saw it here in another thread, see it every day. Enough.

Status quo is Democrats in charge of the ship so passengers don't have to worry about crashing into icebergs and if there are enough lifeboats and the radio works and the crew isn't passed out. The ship progresses steady as she goes. Forward. Together. Boring. Status quo.
