The trouble with america
The trouble with america is the population: they're americans.
OK, so some are mexicans too, but Mr Bush is trying to sort that little issue out.
america used to have the reputation as having the biggest and best of everything. And, when it gained that reputation, it was fully justified, as they did indeed seem to have both the biggest and the best of everything. But while their standards have slipped, their egos certainly haven't, and that's where the problem comes in: america still thinks it's the most important place in the world.
While the democratically elected president is widely and vocally criticised by geeks deluxe on their important little blogs, they are, in fact, being entirely hypocritical. For while america doesn't own Iraq, america also doesn't own the blogosphere.
All of which begs the question: why must we non-americans, who make up the majority of the blogging public, have to read their dull posts on american issues, such as local politics, baseball, american "football" and their wonderfully exciting reality TV series'?
I can only think of two reasons:
1. Perhaps they just don't care about anything outside america, or
2. Perhaps they don't actually realise that there is anything outside america.
Either way - goat-blowing american blogs which ignore anything unamerican have no place in the Trollmeister Controlled Blogosphere. As Thom Yorke once sang:
Now go buy an atlas...

With your opinions which are of no consequence at all."
