When I was watching Bush last night, I had one of those rare moments of detached curiosity. I wasn’t upset, I was more curious in a sociological sense. I found myself asking why exactly I couldn’t believe in what he was saying – what is it about me or my demographic that makes me so utterly incapable of believing in his speech. I’m not talking about his honesty (or lack thereof). I’m talking about the grand abstractions of freedom, duty, country, patriotism that he invoked. Why are these ideas so uncompelling to me? They’re all good things. I probably should find them compelling. But I don’t. It’s not that I’m hostile to these abstract ideas – I just don’t find them intellectually compelling.
I suspect that a good deal of my demographic (young knowledge workers/students) feel the same way. Our generation, you see, is cursed by the tyranny of irony. Or perhaps blessed. I’m not sure. But that’s what I want to talk about today. And oddly enough, I want to offer my theory about how Bush blew his chance after 9/11 to free us from irony, which Michael Stipe (REM singer) once called “the shackles of youth.”

You guys just didn't cut it. Don't blame the ref. Every country has a gripe about bad calls in every game.
I'm Australian and I wont blame the government here for bad calls in soccer, that is crazy.
Anyway, we play Italy tomorrow. If we lose, so be it, will still be proud they made it this far.

Sure. They are all corrupts as George Bush is. Just make everything easier to their favour without logical way and justice. Sick people they are and fat as well.

Sure the world hates U.S.A. All refs are against U.S.

No but I believe they might have been intentionally over ranked for that reason.
