  • 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

    Our tax dollars at work...

    LANSING, Mich. - Secretary of State Ruth Johnson reminds residents that all SUPER!Centers as well as select PLUS and traditional offices will remain open on Election Day for customers who must conduct urgent business on that day.

    Most state government offices will be closed on Tuesday, Nov. 6, because of a 2004 agreement with labor unions made by the administration of then Gov. Jennifer Granholm that makes Election Day a state employee holiday. However, Johnson is keeping several offices open with minimal staffing.

    Rest

    These overcompensated slugs need a whole paid day off to vote Democrat?  WTF?

    YES on Prop 5 & 6 - NO on everything else!

    Proposal 5 and Article V, Section 18 is Marriage Made in Heaven for Michigan

    Fact is folks, Michigan has been blessed with our Balanced Budget Law... partially.  However, with every term of vote buying, and interest lobby bought off congresscritters we send to Lansing, proclaiming that R is for reverse, and D is for driving into a ditch, our bloated budget habitually reflects that like a teenager with a new license to the family car - the keys need to be restricted from exposure.  As it should be, most youth behaves carefree with their new power to blaze their own trail on the open roads, however, that still leaves mom, and dad held responsible for the family car.  It's a fact of life - when the little darlings have a fender bender caused by doing things other than paying attention to the road, any damage caused comes out of the family wallet to fix the car.

    Yessirree.  Article V, Section 18 is merely PLPD coverage on the family car.  Out of pocket repair bills is exactly the exposure that every Michigan family faces with handing the keys to their little darlings behind the Lansing wheel.  What's that?  A smart family should know to also carry collision, or, Full Coverage if entrusting others with risks to the family vehicle?  Well, with just checking the old inbox, that is the message that the good folks over at the Michigan Capitol Confidential are driving home on Prop 5.

    The idea behind a Tax Limitation Amendment is to make it more difficult for the political class to pilfer the pockets of taxpayers. Research -- most notably by scholar Mancur Olson -- has shown time and again that in democratic nations the wishes of an electorate are often ignored by narrow special interests that seek costly "favors" from the government. Politicians all too frequently accommodate those favors (be they subsidies or tariffs or spending hikes or other items) in part because their contributors and powerful constituents support them. Increasing taxes also is often a path of least resistance.

    Constitutional restrictions are an effective way to handcuff politicians and stymie the special interests who lobby them for more money. Academic research on balance seems to show that such restrictions do check the growth of government and tax burdens, too.

    Amen!  So, the natural question must be asked, why is it that the biggest opponent of Prop 5, Rick Snyder, a CEO, and CPA mind you, is behaving like a teenager who incessantly tells dumb 'ol mom and dad who are liable for his actions that he can text and drive?

    The funny thing is with Halloween approaching, skeletons do come out of the closet...

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    But I Want the Fist and the Tiara

    I reckon that being truthful plays all kinds of hell on an Executive who pushed through the DIA Tax on his county, and on a Governerd swirling tax dollars down the drain on excess, and extravagance while the bodies pile, and anarchy descends.

    via The Detroit News

    The Michigan Republican Party on Tuesday pulled a cable TV ad that bashes Detroit while touting Oakland County's GOP.

    County Executive L. Brooks Patterson saw the 34-second ad and asked state GOP Chairman Bobby Schostak on Tuesday to pull it, saying it was unnecessarily negative.

    Patterson, who is undergoing rehabilitation for injuries suffered in a car crash, received a resounding no, spokesman Bill Mullan said.

    "I've always run political campaigns built on positive messages. My campaign has asked the independent entity that produced this ad to take it down, but they've refused," Patterson said in a statement on Tuesday. "Detroit has its challenges. But my administration has always tried to be part of the solution."

    More with video of pulled commercial

    And, folks still try to tell me that there is a Two Party system.  Again .. Shut up, Brooks.  Your 73-year-old duplicitous tongue needs to head out to pasture, and tell tales of how you remember your legend to your grandchildren.  Everything has a built in obsolescence, Brooks - you, like this dangerous fossil, have finally met yours.

    That is fact.

    Noticed an interesting post discussing our infrastructure, and communications over at Hall of Record

    Huawei, a global Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer already doing limited business in the U.S., poses a threat to national and corporate security say members of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Those congressmen speak to Steve Kroft for a 60 Minutes investigation to be broadcast Sunday, Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7:00 p.m. PT.

    The world's largest maker of telecommunications equipment has been under investigation for the past year by the committee, which will issue its report on the Chinese company on Monday. The committee's chair, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), tells Kroft, "If I were an American company today...and you are looking at Huawei, I would find another vendor if you care about your intellectual property, if you care about your consumers' privacy, and you care about the national security of the United States of America."

    More

    No kidding, Mike.  Good thing the Canadians had Snyder file a Buy American waiver on their DRIC, too.

    Sure poses a quagmire for the MI-GOP loyalists, and the ChiCom loving Governerd, doesn't it?

    This by Clay Waters, Director of Times Watch at MRC, was just too good not to share from the inbox.

    Michigan's Moderate GOP Gov. Gets NYT Kudos for Rejecting Conservative Policy

    New York Times reporter Monica Davey wrote an approving profile Sunday of Michigan's moderate Republican governor, who "avoids the sort of language that riles up some Republican crowds." "Michigan's G.O.P. Governor Defies Easy Labels."

    Snyder earned some serious Times' brownie points for rejecting a Republican measure that would require photo identification for absentee voting.
    ....

    Back in May, Davey sobbed over moderate Indiana Republican Sen. Dick Lugar's loss in the Republican primary to a Tea Party candidate after a "mean" campaign.

    No kidding.  I guess that means the DeVos hired help needs to get with the program, eh?

    Conservative principles crumbling under pressure?  Potentially, just a heartbeat away.

    Must be what the RNC is shooting for as its slogan this election.

    Is this campaign meme intended to keep folks at home in November?

    "Take that Relentless Positive Action, and uh, bring it to Washington, DC"

    Oy!  Pete and John, wise up .. ditch the I ♥ Nerd schtick.  A lone 2010 primary 36% win infiltrated by Schwarz Democrats does not necessarily make one a Senator in 2012.

    Seriously, wtf are you two thinking?

    via The Detroit News

    Ann Arbor - Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder isn't yet announcing his re-election bid, but he says there's still a lot he wants to accomplish that may spill into a second term.

    The Republican governor told The Associated Press in a Friday interview he has learned after a year and a half in office "things don't happen overnight." He says that's where persistence pays off, one reason he's considering another run in 2014.

    Snyder says he hopes people "are excited about what we've accomplished" and want to keep the same team in place through 2018.

    The Ann Arbor venture capitalist won a five-way GOP primary in 2010 and the general election after spending nearly $6 million of his own money on the race. He took office Jan. 1, 2011.

    Rest here.

    Schwarz primary .. Anti-Right-To-Work .. Stopped the Income Tax roll down to 3.9% .. Pension Tax .. bypasses legislature i.e., the people for DRIC bridge ..  Light Rail boondoggles .. Veto photo ID for absentee ballots .. Insurance Exchange .. wants Romney to ignore Obama's Record ... another term of the Nerd?

    Oy!  Good thing I'm 30 seconds away from the Macallan.
