Change it in the System Preferences here.

Uncheck "Show Input menu in menu bar"

 

[Surely]

Go to
System Preferences>Language & Text>Input Sources, and uncheck 'Show input menu in menu bar'


EDIT: Dammit Carl!

Or hold down the command key and drag it out of the menu bar.

Edit: Surely, your avatar inspired me, at least for the duration of the Olympics.

Take it down at night, unless adequately lit, and keep it from touching the ground.

...if you have Snow Leopard.

In Leopard, that's System Preferences > International > Input Menu

Tiger, anyone?

(It always helps to identify your OS when posting a question.)

Or just use the mouse and keyboard as suggested above.

Yeah, mine will remain red for the duration of the Olympics too.

Yay, I'm inspiring!

It's the same in Tiger.

You only see that during the Olympics.

It will disappear once you guys lose the gold medal games in Men's and Women's Ice Hockey to Canada.
