The American Civil Liberties Union has other things to do, folks.

I have very strong opinions about hamburgers. I have argued about what makes a good hamburger at bars, backyard BBQs, and on the internet.

But I also know it's totally inconsequential stuff compared to, say, the Trump administration's travel ban. Or his assault on health care. Also, just the general state of democracy in America.

That's the kind of stuff the American Civil Liberties Union deals with. So don't bother the group with your hamburger debates.

Obviously, the woman who alerted the ACLU was just joking. But she still felt guilty.

And then the ACLU responded in a way that made everyone love them even more.

Thanks for all your work, ACLU. Maybe celebrate with something delicious -- like a hamburger! Just don't put ketchup on it.
