A stupid, irritating way of summing up the way of the world. Like saying "ho hum, shit happens."

Bruce Almighty, said by Bruce Campbell in an effort to make a catchphrase similar to "And Thats the way it was"

Also a pun in that film, as the news story was about a giant cookie,

It means:

Thats the way it happened
