    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

    There's embarrassing and then there are these local Dems

    We're talking dumb, dumber and just plain asinine.  I don't know how else to describe the moves made yesterday by three Democratic state lawmakers here in Michigan, other than to slap my forehead forcefully and repeatedly.

    I'd probably get a kick out of some of this nonsense, if it wasn't so thoroughly dangerous.

    OK, so its not all dangerous.  One of the House Dem's freshmen members, for instance, isn't going to do any real overt damage but that doesn't make his latest campaign fundraising gimmick any less ridiculous.  Apparently the man doesn't own a TV or a radio and he's missed all of the Governor's "Pure Michigan" tourism ads.  

    Instead of hosting his next fundraiser on the lakeshore or at a great local restaurant or ski resort, Representative Jim Slezak is packing up his donors and asking them to shell out hundreds of dollars to go on a cruise with him.  Not in a classic car down Woodward Avenue in Detroit, mind you... on a cruise line.  To a private island.  In the Bahamas.  

    All aboard!

    I couldn't make this up.  Read on...

    Michiganders show up in force to defend life!

    Yesterday hundreds of Michiganders joined hundreds of thousands of their fellow Americans in a march on the Capitol in Washington, DC, coming together in one powerful voice to urge the President and lawmakers to protect the unborn.  

    Unfortunately, President Obama is expected to make true the worst fears of defenders of innocent life.  ABC News reports that he is today expected to sign an executive order overturning the Mexico City Policy, in effect permitting American tax dollars to be spent funding abortions around the world.  

    Abortion WILL become more frequent, today, with untold thousands of innocent lives snuffed out between this date and the reinstatement of the policy upon the election of a pro-life replacement in the White House.  Compounding the tragedy is the fact that you and I will be paying for the killings.  

    Simply put, elections have consequences.  We cannot, for a single moment, allow ourselves to be plied by sugar-coated speeches, popular sentiment and the adulation of the mainstream media.  How men and women who claim to be pro-life can justify their vote for this man in light of today's action... I just plain don't get it.

    As heartbreaking as today's executive order is, though, the testimony, conviction and commitment of the men and women and children who came together yesterday in DC is equally encouraging.  And they weren't alone.

    Yesterday hundreds gathered at the steps of the Capitol in Lansing, Michigan as well.  It was cold, it was windy and it was overcast... the meteorological equivalent of the political climate for life, but there wasn't an ounce of quit or loss of compassion in these families.

    Nearly a dozen legislators were in attendance... Representatives Rick Jones, Tom McMillin, Matt Lori... Democratic Senator John Gleason.  Senator Alan Cropsey spoke to the crowd, encouraging them to continue championing life and reminding everyone of the importance of the cause.  He cautioned that the new administration would likely attempt, soon, to overturn the global gag order and encouraged folks to press their Congressmen hard and frequently to influence the administration in the cause of life.  

    Today the President made Cropsey a prophet.  And now I can only wonder how Senator Gleason rationalizes his support of a man that helped enable the new slaughter of thousands of children across the globe.
