  • 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.

    Someone talked me into it.

    You see, everything the current president and his accomplices stand for, is about removing choices from the individuals and business.

    The latest bit is in the way which he wants to affect the automakers' output.  Like the social engineering the left so eagerly embraces, it deems an outcome without regard to the input.  By simply snapping one's fingers or putting a pen to page a person is made whole, happy, and healthy.  And in this case it automatically engineers the next generation of automobiles.  First we have:

    Abracadabra.

    54.5.  FIFTY FOUR point FIVE miles per gallon shall be the standard, and specifically the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard. As these motivational references below allude, he must be freaking magic.  Wave a wand, snap the fingers, touch the nose, or wiggle the ears, the pixie dust is flying.

    GM To Add 1900 Jobs!!

    Whoo Hoo!

    Break out the champagne, Its looking to be a good year! According to NPR, It will happen in two phases:

    GM's plant in Spring Hill will start making cars again for the first time in two years. The factory had sat mostly idle except for some engine production. Now GM will spend about a quarter of a billion dollars on the plant and add almost two thousand jobs in two phases.

    In the first phase, the plant will add 700 workers on a so-called "flex line," meant to make whatever GM needs quickly to meet high demand. It will start next year on the popular Chevy Equinox.


    Wow!

    OK, its not 870,000 jobs but its a start in the right direction.  Maybe the crisis is nearly over?  Michigan could sure use those jobs about now, and the news couldn't come soon enough.

    BTW where in Michigan is Spring Hill?  Is that near Monroe or something?

    OH. I see.

    So, let me get this straight. Government Motors decided to locate their new jobs in a plant in a Right-To-Work state?

    Snap.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Attention Michigan Congressional Delegation..

    As many of you know, the new body makeup gives new life to rule of law.

    May 25th 2007 was an important date.  Remember this.

    So was the day the lights were turned out in the house early August of 2008.

    The 25th of May was a discovery date for a certain member of Congress.  It was the date that a certain high ranking congressman discovered the radical potential of wealth that could be generated by high gas prices.  IF.. one holds an interest in breaking Natural gas technology that is.

    So, who wants to be a hero to the Michiganders who instead of paying their mortgage, filled the tank to get to the job that was about to go away?  Who would out of the gate, set their sights on the person who for the sake of profit, broke the back of the American worker already on the ropes from a declining average income? And, who designed and capitulated in 'green' contrivances which had little effect except the destruction of an economy that once seemed unbreakable.

    The UAW continues the progressive mindset in a way that will ultimately be the end of the businesses it "serves"  Paul Kersey of the Mackinac center pointed out a couple days ago:

    The actual competitiveness of the Big Three never rated highly as a value for the government's restructuring of the industry, and the union has shown it is prone to act cavalierly towards those same companies as they struggle back toward profitability. This is the natural consequence of a "bankruptcy" process that shielded the union from the consequences of its own avarice. Whether out of greed or ignorance, the UAW could still bring these companies down.

    I vote for ignorance.  Well..  At least on the side of the average UAW worker.
