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.

A Representative Michigan should NOT be proud of

Last week I posted a video of Thaddeus McCotter, A representative Michigan should be proud of. This post is about John Conyers, one of curs Michigan voters send to Washington term after term. In short, Conyers is an abomination, and is a microcosm of the state of the union.

John Conyers has written a letter to Attorney General, Eric Holder, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asking them to investigate Maricopa County, Arizona sheriff Arpaio.

From John Conyers Writes a Letterfrom daveleroy at RedState:

Being a border state, Arizona is uniquely situated in the illegal immigration battle. Like Texas, California and New Mexico, it is these state governments that bear the huge costs of illegal immigration in their hospitals, their schools, and their law enforcement resources. With the increasing violence south of the border instigated by competition between drug cartels, it is bound to, and has in some instances, spilled north of the Rio Grande. Yet, we now have bureaucrats sitting in Washington, DC high on their dais questioning the tactics of the foot soldiers- actually one foot soldier- in this very real battle. While they twiddle their thumbs and contenplate "comprehensive immigration reform" and "strengthening our southern border," they now have the audacity to criticize someone who is actually doing something about it.
