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.

Michigan, not too long ago was recognized as having one of the finest state Supreme courts in the nation. That is.. until Cliff Taylor was replaced due to a combination of occurrences. First the Socialist Democrat Base was energized enough, and money was flowing through the Democrat coffers like nobody's business, (and indeed, in some circumstances it apparently still is NOBODY'S business.. Hello Jon Stryker.)And THEN there was the video lie about Taylor, where an Actor portrayed him as sleeping at the bench. And now Brewer may have hired another actor to play a sleeping judge again.

No wonder the Democrats receive such strong support from Hollywood. Its a matter of employment..

Aside from that..

The make-up of the court, and the addition of Alton Davis, currently has it looking at past decisions for reconsideration. They want to change history. The "Best State Supreme Court In the nation may well see a bit of revisionist justice.

And the loss of Justice Young would make it a sure thing.

An Ad for Mary Beth Kelly and Bob Young below the fold..

Caution - Twists In Road & Detour Ahead

And I am not talking about that cool little hole in the wall community in the Upper Peninsula.

Four weeks out from the general election, and we may have a problem with a double digit lead that Rick Snyder has, over Virg Bernero. Snyder's lead through Rasmussen as of a couple weeks ago was 13 points, and it is unlikely (barring a name and gender change along with a discovery he is a Canadian plant) that Rick Snyder will drop below the 50 point mark. Private polling commissioned by a political source shows the lead may have grown even more.

And it presents more of a problem for Republicans than Democrats.

Insert record scratch here?
