I've been looking all over the right wing blogosphere for interesting posts, but nearly every blog I read is posting about the same thing. "Look at how many hundreds of millions of dollars of tsunami aid we gave! We are not stingy!"
I think there's so much irony here. Right wing blogs have normally critized the left wing for caring about what Europeans think of us. Liberals would say "Bush is a bad president because Europeans don't like him," and then right wing bloggers would go crazy and write "who cares what Europeans think?"
But now right wing blogs are doing the same thing. Some guy from Norway says America is stingy, and the only thing the right wing blogosphere can think about is trying to prove how we aren't stingy. God forbid the Europeans think badly of us!

I think Europe is cooler than the United States too, but that wasn't exactly my point :)

You're straining your ears in an echo chamber trying to hear the interesting voice, but all you hear is echoes. Shocking.
People parroting each other's thoughts is uninteresting even if you agree with them. Blogging is writing about things that interest you, not trolling the popular blogs to find something to talk about.
If you're not finidng interesting things to write about by reading the "right wing blogosphere," try reading something else.

Well, it annoyed the hell out of me, but not because I care what some guy from Norway says. I don't like someone verbally attacking my country, when that someone is working for the United Nations. We pay too much of their budget for them to smear us, and we give way too much in aid for people to accuse us of being stingy.
That said, it isn't important enough for ME to blog about. I'd rather complain about American government figures.
And no way is Europe cooler than the United States. They do have more culture, but we're in a way, way better position government wise. Way less socialism. Now if we could have their countries and our government... but that's imperialistic of me.
