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.

Sometimes I wish someone would have said Whoa there.. shouldn't the Republicans be blue, and the Democrats red? Simply because the Democrats tend to be a little more aligned with the Marxist ideals anyhow..

But i digress.. as always.

John Conyers was busy chumming it up recently at a Democratic Socialist function with such notables as David Green, (its chair) who seems to like travel to Cuba as much as Michael Moore. Green, a traveler to Cuba, openly advocates Marxism. And is one of "my people" to John Conyers. Green's own words?

"My wife, Teena, and I visited Cuba from February 2nd through February 9th. We were allowed to travel to Cuba as part of a religious mission from our synagogue donating medication to various clinics on the island.
As a democratic socialist, I approach Cuba with a certain set of biases. On the one hand, I am enormously impressed with the Cubans' success in reducing inequality on the island over the last 50 years. On the other hand, I refuse to become a propagandist for an authoritarian regime (notwithstanding Cuba's legitimate critique of bourgeois democracy). Cuba is not a socialist paradise. However, the Cubans have made significant advances in social welfare over the previous regime--and with little resources."

But hey.. good enough for a budding socialist state ..right?

Conyers' "peeps" folks.

Never mind the Cubans had a marvelous lifestyle prior to the "have-nots" being armed by the Soviets in an attempt to provide a friendly platform for their plans of domination in our region and the spread of communism.

Just know they are Conyers' peeps. Don't believe it? Watch the video below.
