  • 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.

    Besides Rick Snyder, same 'ol same old... Amnesty for gatecrashers.

    The immigration overhaul passed by the U.S. Senate could put a big squeeze on the budgets of state and local governments.

    The proposal does not help states pay for costs incurred by required policy changes, including ramped up English classes and greater access to public hospitals and health clinics.

    "Potentially, we are going to create a financial catastrophe for states and localities," said Sheri Steisel, senior federal affairs counsel and a human services expert at the National Conference of State Legislatures. "The states will end up with the cost and consequences of the federal decision-making, with very little resources to rely on to make up the difference."

    Not that the self-invented Nerd persona since being sworn to his Oath has done a damn thing about that "big squeeze" anyway.  Why Hell, stealth Democrat Rick Michigan has even fought his own Secretary of State, Ruth Johnson, over providing gatecrashers a driver license, squashing voter verification, and placing the Lawless to the front of the line ahead of American citizens.

    Michiganders must really enjoy being little more than Debt Slaves.  Wolverines - do not.  Frankly, I don't see a snowball's chance in Hell that Snyder will be a second term anything in this state, but go ahead "liberty-minded network" with squandering your time and resources on Calley.

    Everything That Needs to be Known About Nerdpublicrats

    Teh Stoopid Party in Michigan remains dead to me.

    If anything, Majority Leader Randy Richardville said, he saved Gov. Rick Snyder from a big defeat more than two weeks ago by not calling a vote on House legislation to expand eligibility for government-provided health insurance to 320,000 low-income adults in 2014. The Republican governor had cut short a trade trip in Israel to return home and lobby the GOP-dominated Senate.

    "I think he was convinced that the votes were there. I'm in the room where those votes get counted," Richardville, of Monroe, told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday, the day he outlined his expectations for a Senate workgroup that will study Medicaid expansion this summer.

    "This debate, this issue, is alive because I provided leadership on this issue based on the feedback from the Senate Republican caucus. This thing was dead if we had taken a vote when it was being demanded that we take a vote. It wasn't a gentle request. There was a demand and then after the demand there was a - they called it a press conference. I've got other words to describe it, but I'm not going to use them."

    Give him credit - he came through, we read.  A special thank you, we read.

    GMAFB. There isn't enough paint on the planet for trying the "happy face" schtick with loser Snyder and Schostak at the helm.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Like Obama, Listen to the Only 'Smartest Evah' Person in the Room...

    It just makes my blood boil that my taxes are paying for this.

    What a lying Progressive slovenly attired Hillary pantsuit-esque uniform wearing Corporatist slime-ball.  There is no such thing as "free" monies.  Rewarding bad governmental behavior will only decimate every state dumb enough not to see the Feds are offloading their debt onto them.

    One provision of the law [ObamaCare], the bulk of which goes into effect next year, expands state Medicaid coverage to individuals earning less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level. In exchange, the federal government will provide 100 percent reimbursement for the expandedcoverage for three years, phasing down to 90 percent in 2020.

    "The fastest thing that's going to go when we're cutting spending in Washington is a 100 or 90 percent match rate for Medicaid. There's no way. It doesn't matter if Republicans are running Congress or Democrats are running Congress. There's no way we're going to keep those match rates like that," said Ryan, who added that he has spread the warning to Republican governors and the National Conference of State Legislatures.

    Word from chair ShowStak on any of this Nerd treachery?  Crickets chirping.  Willard, and his V.P. selection were your chosen boys, Bobby.  Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land?  Nothing but tumbleweeds blowing through Deadwooden shoeville.

    "You have already consumed your daily caloric intake of 2500.  Please report to the nearest State Dept of Excess for purging."

    What?  You didn't expect that your health choices would matter any longer?

    By golly those house Dems and Republicans sure your bad choices don't get worse under the free for all expansion of health care I guess. Body Mass Indexing is a believable end result of 'state provided' health insurance. By golly maybe my concerns have been answered? Jack McHugh notes the new "creepy" rules:

    "Under the bill, enrollees would pay more unless they "demonstrate improved health outcomes or maintain healthy behaviors as identified in a risk assessment by their primary care practitioner." Dr. Edison characterizes as "creepy" the requirement that doctors must track and report to the state whether their patients have met that standard."
    Regularly scheduled doctor visits to make sure you don't bloat.

    OR .. Engage in other risky behavior; do drugs, drink, engage full promiscuity, same sex ..stuff, stare at the sun, hang glide, etc..

    Precious.

    Can State Senate supporters of expanding medicaid still think its such a good idea?
