2011!


I wonder where we are headed and what we will be talking about a year from now? I am sure that the 2012 presidential elections will be in full effect; wingnuts will be screaming more foolishness from their high profile perch over at Radio Rwanda; there will still be a war raging in some remote corner of the world; there will still be a war right here at home, where 300 plus people will, once again, lose their lives violently in my hometown of Killadelphia.

Still, I know what we won't be talking about: (By we I mean the folks here in A-merry-ca.) Poverty. Corruption. Education.Crime. Race. Social justice.....You get the idea; we won't be talking about anything that makes us uncomfortable. We don't want to feel uncomfortable while we pursue happiness here in A-merry-ca.

Anyway, we talked about a lot in 2010. And, for the most part, I enjoyed the conversation. At least the conversation we had here. We talked about a lot of the things that makes A-merry-ca uncomfortable, which is why this blog will always be, for the most part, on the outside looking in.

But we will keep having that conversation in 2011, because I want to talk; and judging from the comments and the folks who come to the fields on a daily basis, so do you.

So please keep talking to me and letting me know what you think. I promise that you will always know what I think no matter what.

Here is hoping that 2011 will be filled with happiness for you.

    Dear Mr. Field, let me say that I hope you have a healthy and prosperous NEW YEAR! Tonight Anons are having a New Year's blast at an 'anonymous' hotel hidden in the mountains somewhere in America. I will make sure I make a toast to you and FN blog.

    For 2011, whether the conversations are uncomfortable, boring, or just plain bullshit, you can be sure Anon Inc will be there participating. As you know, we have special agents for everything and everybody.:)

    Best Wishes for the New Year,
    President

  6. Field, once again, Happy New Year!

    I was concerned and wondering if szpork is okay. They had tornado in Little Rock, Arkansas, and if I remember szpork told me that he lives there. It hit in Missouri, and Illinois. It killed a few people and sucked one man out of his house and dropped him across the street from his home,but he's okay.

    I pray that szpork is okay and that his house is still standing.

    Granny, "It killed a few people and sucked one man out of his house and dropped him across the street from his home,but he's okay."

    The man that was sucked up by the tornado, was szpork. Apparently, he didn't agree with the tornado's taste buds and had to spit him out.

    brohammas, "We need more uncomfortable conversations had respectfully."

    Amen. But how many folks on FN blog respect each other? Mellaneous has YET to show respect to Anons.

    Mellaneous is always doing his self-righteous number on us good-willed Anons. All he does is create a hell on earth for us innocent ones. I hope God takes note how badly Mell has treated us.

    Field:

    A Happy New Year to you...I am from Philly, (Mt. Airy, just was there at my Mom and sister's respective houses), and LOVE to brag to them about my "homeboy' blogger...God Bless you and keep up the good work.

    I'll have a user-name soon, (now that one of my students informed me that an AOL account is a sure sign you're "old", gmail is on the way!!!)...I will be commenting more.
    By the way, I went to Central and Franklin Learning Center for High School...

  13. Oh, the things left unsaid
    the 800 pound gorillas
    ignored never mentioned
    the discarded detritus of
    a failed and ruinous
    foreign policy, masquerading
    as truth, the usurpation
    of our government in an almost
    bloodless coup
    a betrayal of historic
    proportions as the radicalized
    Supreme Court treats nation
    to prison rape scene
    Oh, the humanity!
    Two Wars, really are these
    even wars, failed ignorance,
    Hubris exposed, worthless
    military playing games
    in the desert makes me
    ashamed of prior service.
    Failure is an option
    and our military has
    as a matter of record
    accepted failure as it's
    "Mission Statement"
    Just something about war
    and these United States
    we no longer win, we
    do not even fucking tie!
    We just keep bleeding,
    and bleating, like the
    sheep we're meant to be!
    Yes, those 800 pound gorillas
    are hard to see and
    exceptionally hard to measure
    like the thirty year war
    on drugs, WTF! Thirty years
    and victory is just around
    the corner and up around
    the bend over and take it
    like a used up crack whore.
    We have never liked a war
    more than a war that never
    ends!! Welcome my son,
    Welcome to the Machine!
    War Inc...
    the prequel, the sequel and
    all points in between
    War Pigs do gather in their
    masses just to prove
    that their dumb asses
    if we're a superpower
    then the word has no meaning
    our military has neither
    gained nor achieved a
    greater strategic
    edge in any theater on
    any point of the globe
    in decades our position is
    faltering as we squander
    resources in unwarranted
    invasions and occupations based
    on lies, fear, ignorance, and
    best of all Machismo
    that glory seeking prep
    school fuck, nut job, sure
    did his daddy proud
    those big ass gorillas sure
    do leave huge piles of shit
    everywhere you might not
    see the gorilla but you
    can sure smell the shit

  18. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL! THE USUAL SUSPECTS AND THE FOLKS WHO USUALLY LURK AND WHO I AM MEETING FOR THE FIRST TIME. (BIG UP MY PHILLY HOMIE IN MT. AIRY!)

    Mr. President (Anon. Inc.) I hope that you and your peeps raised a toast to us all last night. And, for the record, I think that your administration is doing a fine job.

    FFH, thanks for the poem.

    Sorry mold, I don't do the pork thing, but I am eating well. :)

  20. Happy New Year, Field!

    I'm always pleased to drop by and read your thoughtful commentary. Keep pitching as the upcoming year looks to be quite stressful for those wanting to discuss your favored topics.

    I'm certainly going to giving them a workout at my place too.

    Salute!

    Mellaneous, I am quite disappointed in you as a Reverend because you failed to wish all Anons Happy New Year. That means you have nothing but ill-will for us. You have been projecting ill-will on us when it's YOU who has it. Furthermore, it's not very nice, let alone holy, for a Rev NOT to wish ALL of God's children Best Wishes....What kind of minister are you?
