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

Well, at least turns cantaloupe into food for hungry DC residents.

The result of a protest against GOP positions on immigration reform demonstrated that our representative and his colleagues DO have a heart. Bentivolio delivered the goods:

"With the Republican Study Committee assisting, the office of Rep. Kerry Bentivolio, R-Mich., took the lead in gathering dozens of the cantaloupes so they could be donated to the Capital Area Food Bank.
The final donation count: 96 cantaloupes.

In other news, house democrats still wonder what to do with the pig excrement (Obamacare) delivered specially to them by Obama in 2010.

I have seen Mitch McConnell 'spine-up' before, but this advertisement encouraging Republicans in KY to put pressure on the Minority leader drives home an important point.

The 'nuclear option' is at hand. Surrender is not an option, and any funding for Obamacare is an endorsement of it. Any federal overreach such as this MUST be pushed back by our representatives in whatever way available. If the last resort is a shutdown of an extra-constitutional government so-be-it. No Republican principles are served in the absence of courage. Kentucky voters are rightfully advised to talk to their US Senator who will be up for his seat next year.

And THESE Guys need to hear from you as well.

Dan Benishek 1st District Bill Huizenga 2nd District Justin Amash 3rd District Dave Camp 4th District Fred Upton 6th District Tim Walberg 7th District Mike Rogers 8th District Candice Miller 10th District Kerry Bentivolio 11th District

Enjoy the show below the fold.

Conservative grass roots favorite Kerry Bentivolio starts his 11th Congressional District career on Jan. 3rd. Will he be another Candace Miller, or more akin to Justin Amash?

The most popular and successful jingles had one particular characteristic.

They would haunt you.

In fact the way in which "double your pleasure" stuck around double time, and Oscar Mayer had kids running around wishing they were processed meat, its been clear that using music to sell a product would be forevermore a staple in marketing plans. Upbeat music to sell underwear, soda, and toiletries is now part of our Americana.

This video for Nansee Cassiss uses bouncy ball type jingle magic to remind folks how to spell her name. I will leave it to the reader to determine what this style of music might remind them of.

Just close your eyes, listen, and make a note of which pet food comes to mind.
