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.

Outgoing Michigan Senator Carl Levin had a hand in the IRS troubles related to conservative groups.

Levin used his weight to ask the IRS to give special attention to groups that were somewhat political:

"Levin's list contained nine conservative groups, including Club for Growth, Americans for Tax Reform, and Americans for Prosperity. It also included two liberal groups and one centrist group.
The IRS officials were reportedly already aware that the agency had been targeting conservative groups for special scrutiny during the time Levin was corresponding with Shulman and Lerner.

Way to champion free speech brother Carl!

Thank God this clown is moving along. However, what about his protege, Gary Peters? Congressman Peters, who had lately been commenting on the actions of the IRS,

"For the IRS to wildly misuse its authority and target people or groups on ideological grounds goes against the core of our democracy and sets a dangerous precedent,"

sure could have said something sooner, one might think. It sure would of been nice if he had spoke up when this was first being reported on.

Nope. Peters was standing with Obama and the Dem Senators like Levin when his reelection was years away, but now he's just hoping to resonate with some voters back home. Just another election year conversion of convenience.

Way to be a real advocate for free speech, Gary.

When Levin is gone, does anyone think a SENATOR Peters would be any less abusive?
