Welcome to 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.

Right on, baby!
Hey! Thanks for stopping by Smashed Frog's very first post...:)
So much has happened since then...but the poor baby stuck on my windshield is where it all started.
Visit the Frog again and again!
Thank You for performing this public service which is much more than can be said for the Lemming like politicians who support these Witch Hunts.

I just had to stop by and make a comment in your first entry. I like the "Smashed Frog" idea.
Thank you. The Frog was born in the heat of the moment, ha...literally, for the one tiny frog.
