Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

is indeed its unions..

So much so, it forced unionization on the unwilling and unsuspecting homeworkers who contract for the state. Of course even though they resist, they just don't know whats good for them. A union has benefits! Being part of a union is being a part of something bigger than yourself right?

Just don't let little details like THEFT and graft get in the way. Never mind the little rewards by the SEIU and AFSCME to certain elected government officials campaign coffers.

That just makes it sound dirty.

It seems the unions don't want anyone to have an opinion, or affect public policy if it keeps them from being firmly in control as our masters. The use of government by big labor to move forward policy is hardly any breaking news, but recent power grabs in the health care, banking and major manufacturing industries are an end game policy. A policy which many Americans have stood up against particularly in 2009 with literally THOUSANDS of protests and townhall meetings.

The union leaders are hell bent on maintaining the power base which they have managed, even in the midst of declining membership in commercial enterprise. Government membership however is becoming more diseased all the time. As government jobs increase so does the membership in the very unions which have tried so very hard to mute the voices in America that are contrary to the re distributive schemes of our administration both here and national. The tea party folks being only the first targets.

Pay close attention and read on..
