Kids:

The overcast malaise of 'Hump Day' brings about this lastest rant:

The long-term, nearly irreparable damage that the Bush administration has
done to this country shouldn't be marginalized, mitigated or forgiven.
These sh*theads have now set an unsurpassable gold standard for aggressive,
egregious criminal behavior and continue through heedless and horribly misshapen
foreign policy to put us further and further behind the eight ball.

Are we ever getting out of Iraq? How many more of our men and women are
going to get shipped home in boxes? Has there, in the history of organized
government ever been a greater, more desperate disconnect between a society
and its 'leadership'....?

I think not.

Some of the following tidbits courtesy of my younger, better-educated brother:

Douchebag 'Dubya' has the lowest approval rating in the history of that office. (Maybe
Millard Fillmore gives him a run, but that was 1853 and THAT'S how far back you've
got to reach to find a comparable asswipe) His approbal rating at present is lower
than even Nixon's and we CAUGHT his f*cking ass! 'Dubya' also holds the distinction
of having the lowest Gallup poll rating EVER after he evoked executive privilege to
block Harriet Myers from testifying about the firing of those eight U.S. Attorneys who
were basically run out on Karl Roves word, chalking up yet another hash for the
cherubic assassin who has raised beltway graft and muck-racking to positively CHAMPIONSHIP
levels...He's a sick, twisted little lump of dough that will undoubtedly dodge whatever
bullets await and probably make a bundle post-administration on the lecture circuit
showing up-and-coming politicos how to effectively sh*t all over their competition and
not get caught.

Then you've got Dick(less) Cheney, who actually smells of sulfur, dutifully in-service to
his cloven-hoofed master, claiming that he's not part of the executive branch and therefore
won't be turning over his papers to the National Archive detailing his time as Vice President.
There's a SPECIAL spot in hell for you hoss. I hear you and Stalin will be splitting a time-share,
overlooking the 'Fosaken Souls' Lake Of Fire.

I want them all, Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rummy and every sychophantic, goose-stepping
toad-lackey who helped propagate their bullsh*t loaded into a big burlap bag, beaten
liberally with the largest lead pipe in the world and rolled into the riptide of a fast-moving
river.

These f*ckheads deal in piety and indifference the way bank tellers count back singles.
They seem oblivious, impervious and completely beyond reach or reproach...and I'm DYING
to put a dent in their asses. I'm hoping when we put Obama (fingers crossed) into office
next year, that he immediately convenes a big dollar senate investigation and drags each
of them onto C-SPAN for what would, if there were truly a God in the sky, be the first
bow-shot in a fullblown criminal trial.

Then onto The Hague where it really gets interesting.

In the words of Mink Deville 'Let me dream if I want to...'

...and let the cannonball comments fly.

Obama in 08. I have to agree with everything you wrote!

"I want them all, Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rummy and every sychophantic, goose-stepping
toad-lackey who helped propagate their bullsh*t loaded into a big burlap bag, beaten
liberally with the largest lead pipe in the world and rolled into the riptide of a fast-moving
river."

I love this little rant the best!

Your points are always great to read!

So sayeth the truth! Sometime in 2009 or 2010, there'll be a avalanche of "tell-all" books that'll expose what this so-called presidency has done and believe me, there's probably a host of sh*t we don't even know about yet. And that's the scary thing....

That's what I'm sayin', Matt C.

Something funny. The book I'm trying to acquire the rights to is about a resistance group in the country of Estonia after World War II. The Soviets went in when the Germans were defeated, tried to wipe the country off the map and no one did a thing, including the U.S. NOT A F$CKING THING!

The Soviets occupied the country from 1945 to 1990 and the last Soviet soldier left Estonia in 1994.

What the hell happened to spreading democracy? While most people were celebrating victory, Estonians were being shipped off to Siberian labor camps and dying. The population of Estonians in Estonia today is less than in 1939.

You want to talk about something the U.S. should have been involved in if it was really about "spreading democracy" that's it!

These a$$holes (yeah, that's spelled right) should be dropped out of an airplane over Sierra Leone, wearing a 4th of July American flag t-shirt.

Corruption has been around, but no President has been stupid enough to parade it in people's faces without facing some sort of consequence. Where's Lee Harvey Oswald when you really need him?

I'm going with James Morrison on this one: "I know that it's a wonderful world, but I can't feel it right now."

I know this seems like it's out of left-field, but the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is going on right now and Hideo Kojima revealed the latest trailer for his cinematic game Metal Gear Solid 4. What's interesting is what's being said in the beginning. To paraphrase: "PMCs (Private Military Contractors) are becoming very powerful. War is to the 21st century what oil was to the 20th. It's the pillar that supports the global economy"
Now I know that Kojima-san is one well read man, and considering what's going on in the world right now (yes, it does seem to be getting worse in certain parts, not better), the "game's" premise rings frightfully true. Joe, I really really hope you get to do something with your idea for M:I3. I think it's a timely topic and one that needs to be done right by the likes of you and your brother. Please get that treatment back and make it or help get it made.

you can watch the MGS4 trailer here:

As we sit here and wallow in our discontent for our current ills as a country, and lament on the rupture of decency and accountability...I ask each and everyone of you who read (ahem, and create this blog): what are you doing to affect a change?

Yes, there is voting. Yes, there is discussion. But, many of us who participate on "Smokin Joe" are artists of some sort, some of us with a higher profile than most, and art (film and television in particular) is one of the most powerful mediums in which to affect change.

What are we painting? What are we writing? What are we filming? What stories are we trying to tell through our particular medium?

Yes, there is a place for "entertainment", god knows without a good laugh or vicarious cinematic thrill we'd all be on top of a tower in Texas taking target practice, but when the car chases are over and the shootout is done, when the Idols are picked and the Stars put up their dancing shoes, after Kyra Sedgwick closes her last case and CSI is ZZZ...what have we done to seriously affect change in the level of awareness in our country, as to the absolute criminal behavior of the leaders of our government and the thousands of lives (hundreds of thousands if you count civilians) that have been lost to the policies and actions this administration has undertaken in the face of a complicit news media and complacent general public?

We have the power to bring these matters into the light, because we carry the torch of imagination that fuels our ability to gather the moths of the masses to listen to our words, look at our pictures, and walk away with a hidden knowledge that will hopefully give spark to their own conscious awakening and awareness, and through that new found vision see what all artists try to capture...truth.

Be well all, and rage against the dying of the light.

Good Evening: Joe,

Excellent hump day rant, hopefully Pelosi will listen to the people and pull both plugs early on the cloven-hoofed master and his bitch. I thought the purpose of going to Iraq was to release the people from the tyranny of Saddam, round up the weapons of mass destruction and stabilize the region in order to protect our own democracy. At this point we have at least taken care of Saddam, discovered there were no weapons of mass destruction and realized our democracy is being slowly revoked by our own government. Don’t be surprised when agent Locke surveys this blog and adds the names JC, Scott, William, Muzzleflash, Jeffrey Wright, Jamie, RTA and myself to his list of people to “monitor” and recommend for an IRS audit. Hell, nowadays I can’t even bring a jar of Grey Poupon in my carryon without being identified as a potential terrorist.

From talking to some of my friends who have served in Iraq, the majority of Iraqis at some point appreciated our presence there. However, before we piss them all off, we need to get our troops safely out of there. In the meantime perhaps we should cut and paste our rants to our politicians so they can hear the voice of the people. At least our right to vote for an administration picked by the political majority hasn’t been taken away from us?

See you in Hell George & Dick,
DanV

It might be easy for me since I live in France but our point of view here in Europe is that Bush went to Iraq only for oil and since the first day. So all what DanV says (discovered there were no weapons of mass destruction and realized our democracy is being slowly revoked by our own government) comes as no surprise to us. We also have our corrupted politicians in France so I guess this is a real problem for every democracy in the world. What's frighten me is the way terrorism and violence is spreading, it's like you don't agree with what my God said, I blew you off. I have a child and I don't want him to live in such a crazy world and many of my fellow journalists write about all this and try to open eyes of blinded people who only care about their own personal life. A lot of work has to be done but when I see the poor interest of citizens for politics (and I get their point on that), it's gonna be hard since those politicians have the power to ruin the original purpose of democracy: freedom and respect for all.

Great, very well said.

A bit off topic but what did you think of Moore's rant on the war, CNN, and Blitzer, Joe?
