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.

These Libertarians? They're a Joke.

Cross-posted in The Wizard of Laws.

Just returned to the Emerald City from day one of the State GOP Convention, during which each congressional district chose its national convention delegates. In The Wiz's district, a total of six delegates were selected, three of whom have no business representing the party at the national convention.

During the presidential primary in February, our district voted for Mitt Romney. So, our delegates have to commit to vote for Romney at least through the first ballot at the national convention. In order to be considered for national delegate, each person had to sign an affidavit stating he or she would vote for Romney.

So, what's the problem? Three of the delegates voted in by our district were selected by bloc votes cast by those committed to a former Libertarian now claiming to be a Republican, who puts one in mind of Professor Irwin Corey. Not only were votes cast as a bloc, they were withheld from other candidates as a bloc, under orders from campaign organizers.
