  • 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

    ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

    I grew up in rural northeast Michigan (Iosco County to be precise).  I can tell you as a certainty gained from hard experience that I know manure when I smell it.  So when I say that the stench arising from the sequence of high-profile republican primary screwups smells like a bathtub-sized crock of elephant exhaust . . . well, I've got a usable reference point.

    Because The Narrative Cannot Survive A Rewrite

    Yesterday, I wrote that Mitt Romney's campaign leadership in Michigan was doing their damnedest to spin Michigan's Presidential Primary results into a win for "Michigan's Native Son."  If they could successfully do so, then it would preserve their desired narrative that the favorite son of a popular governor had defeated an insurrection in his own backyard, and would now heroically go forward and accomplish that which his father was unable to do a generation ago.

    However, facts are stubborn things.  As the day wore on, the truth started to make its way to the beltway media that the real result of the Michigan Primary is an exact split of the delegation (which, according to Tony Roza over at The Green Papers, would have been the result even if we hadn't been penalized).  Since such an outcome might have derailed the Romney coronation train, something had to be done.  At the eleventh hour, something was done.
