Welcome to Smashed Frog!

Smashed Frog.

Hmmm. How can one link dead frogs to politics, elected officials, and just overall governmental mayhem? Oh, so many ways, but allow me to begin with just one.

Summer in my state is brutal. BRUTAL. Recently, I had to run an errand which involved driving your basic oven on wheels. The temp inside the car had to be 150 degrees plus. Immediately, I engaged the a/c and attempted to Zen myself cool by thinking "cool"-snow cones, snowflakes, swimming pools-when something on the outside of my windshield caught my eye.

A frog, a very dead frog, had been smashed against the glass. Stuck and melted. It's eyes were as flat as Orphan Annie's.

In fact, I had to scrape the frog off.

Gross.

The image stuck with me.

In my view, the current political climate, whether local, state, or federal, smashes us all against the proverbial windshield. Although we fight back as constituents, to make our wishes known, elected officials of both major parties ignore us and do exactly what they want....proposing and enacting detrimental, restrictive, unconstitutional legislation. Why?

Because they can.

These jokers don't care about you. Me. Us. Or our families.

Smashing flat our quality of everyday life? THAT, they care about about.


The purpose of this blog is to wake people up, to initiate a tiny revolution of talk and of action.

Time to scrape ourselves off the windshield.

"...generations of the American people have surged through the Preamble's portal and widened its gate. Like constitutions, amendments are not just words, but deeds--flesh and blood struggles to redeem America's promise while making amends for some of the sins of our fathers."

Political Endurance Blogs

"The political blogs that may be the “best” of all, the most controversial, homespun, animated, original, creative and downright emotional spill from the 365-day-a-year bloggers. In this subdivision live blogs where big doses of commonsense social commentary are laced with searing political rants. Many are punctuated with posts on personal daily anecdotes, tragic and celebratory, virally propagated YouTube videos, and other miscellaneous content like a favorite recipe, baby and pet photos, and the general political-social sandwich which is daily life—take United States of Motherhood, for example. Blog traffic matters less here, up, down, or all around, many sites are enviable simply for their endurance and “balls-to-the-walls” earnestness: who cares who stops by, I’m speaking my mind regardless. If you’re ever in this neighborhood trip out on one of these popular and creative reads: Little Green Footballs, Smashed Frog and Betsy’s Page."
