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 homosexual Judge's violation of California Voters started a trend as the Activist courts attempt to take over legislative authority from powerless congress and state legislatures.

Michigan should give a great big Middle Mitten Finger to the Judge who thinks he is above the law. Tar and feathers is more than a fashion statement appropriate for such activism. Mlive is reporting that an activist judge has taken it upon himself to go against common sense, the nature of his job, and the will of the people, and strike down the ban on benefits for same sex couples:

"The decision from U.S. District Judge David S. Lawson grants an injunction which prevents Gov. Rick Snyder and state officials from enforcing the 2011 law prohibiting cities, counties and other public employers from offering benefits to same-sex domestic partners.

Every cousin, brother, dog, can now be considered for those benefits.

Really.

Consider that SOME type of status must be obtained legally for any logical pursuit of such benefits. Without the ability to be 'married' the perverse crowd apparently has to simply make the claim. By striking down this ban, Lawson creates a set of problems going forward as we now must either get this puerile decision overturned (Calling Dr Schuette, Calling Dr. Schuette) or quickly define the parameters for "domestic partnership'.

There is an alternate answer however.

Eliminate ALL the benefits and let the 2 percenters explain to the real families what happened to their compensation plan.

Fabulous.
