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.

Rep. Upton maintaining his Republicratic wing values creds with hinting at increased
taxes.

But in an hour-long discussion Wednesday with Kalamazoo Gazette reporters and editors, Upton declined to offer specifics of how the committee might close the current $1.3 trillion gap between federal revenues and expenditures.
Asked if revising the tax code to produce a net gain in federal revenues would violate the anti-tax pledge signed by Upton and the five other Republicans on the committee, Upton responded: "I don't know."
Still, talking about ways the tax code might be changed, Upton used the example of how General Electric was able to avoid paying federal taxes in 2010.
"At the end of the day, I do expect to see tax reform that is bipartisan," he said.
In fact, Upton on Wednesday repeatedly stressed the need for bipartisanship, in sharp contrast to the anti-tax Republican rhetoric that fueled the showdown this summer that led to the committee's creation.

So, good old Upton, Camp and Hensarling sitting on the "Super Committee" are already laying the groundwork for a Norquist ploy as way to evade finger pointing on new taxes that Democrats love.

Bipartisan, of course.

No. I didn't make that up. That is the egocentric propaganda that greets you on Upton's 'spotlight' bio from his Lefty coalition. Anyway, on to common threads of the elected 'Ruling Class' taking us all on a ride down the potholed road to serfdom. Pay particular attention to Mark Matson at roughly 1:30 into this.

Indeed, all bailouts are immoral. Matter of fact, they're nothing more than a subversion of our Bankruptcy Law. So, Lord Frederick Stephen Upton, the smartest and most hard working, what says you about this debt ceiling 'bailout' scheme?
