  • 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.

    Happy meals?

    Apparently some of the protesters had no idea why they were there.

    The left is storming the dome.

    Unions have bussed in their henchmen from outside the state, and its expected to to get a little uglier than this video from just a little while ago..

    If you get 5 minutes, call your Representatives, and State Senators TONIGHT if you have their local numbers, and give them support.  Tomorrow if you do not.  Lets get this crap over and done with permanently, or forever have these thugs running the show in Lansing and our nation.

    We could see action tomorrow if things don't get too hairy.  You are needed!

    In spite of the fact that patriots and activists from all over Michigan gathered last week at a standing-room-only rally at the Mackinac Room in Lansing to show their support for and to urge the passage of a bill making American Laws for American Courts (ALAC) the law of the State of Michigan, powerful leaders in the Legislature are obstinately preventing the bill from reaching the floors of the state chambers for a vote.

    Promoted for discussion ~

    Pete Hoekstra's campaign has made the decision to spend the money necessary to purchase a Super Bowl ad to run in key Michigan media markets (Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Marquette, Lansing, and Traverse City) just before kickoff in Indianapolis.  Naturally, the Michigan Democrat Party is not pleased.

    Chicken Little?

    Michigan is not often considered boring.

    Lansing Mayor and former Gubernatorial contender Virg Bernero is being accused of racially insensitive remarks by Michigan Indian Tribes.  According to the Traverse City Record Eagle:

    "James Nye, a member of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and a spokesman for tribes opposing the Lansing casino plans, said he's been told Bernero referred to him as "Chief Chicken Little" at last week's fundraiser. Bernero apologized Monday but said he didn't think his comments could be construed as a racial slur."

    The bombastic Bernero, of course denies the remarks were meant as racial slurs, and being a Democrat, the issue will be dropped soon. Grand Traverse Band members are already lining up to support his ambitions for a new CURRENT talk show.

    In related news, the sky is falling.

    My Platform

    Steal it.

    I have decided to state my election platform for 2014 if I run for anything at all.

    I am not exactly sure which office I should seek, but there is certainly enough here to encourage from our current elected officials.  Talk is really cheap it seems, but if we can move the levers we'll be better for it, and substantive change cannot come from a legislature or governor that has somehow embraced so much of what they despised under the previous Governor. Unless they continue to despise it.

    It seems that a crap sandwich tastes better when prepared by Republicans, if one was to look through such things as raised taxes on Gas, Obamacare exchanges, Light Rail, or DRIC/NICT issues.

    Below the line you can take it or leave it.  That is what I am about.

    Clown Colors Equals Missed Opportunity.

    Anyone watching the action on the steps of the capitol in yesterday's news, saw much of the stereotypical tie dyed element in play.  Advocates for a reasonable application of the medicinal marijuana law were dressed in .. what you might expect from those who would advocate .. marijuana (or Marihauna as spelled in current law) use in the state of Michigan.

    "Clown Colors"

    That was the descriptive response of a friend of mine. A friend who is, by the way, near and dear to the issue and an advocate for the very things they (Medicinal Marijuana arguers) would like to see happen in the state's capitol.  The tie-died representation of yesteryear's potheads and dope smokers is apparently a hard to kick habit in itself, even in the face of a very serious issue.  In fact its hard to get by the first line of an article about one of the rally goers without shaking my head.

    "OAK PARK - Susan Sunshine, 69, traveled with bus loads of others to Lansing on Wednesday afternoon to tell lawmakers to leave her medicine cabinet alone."
    My friend agrees.

    The argument is reasonable.  The presentation has not been.  Susie Sunshine?  Really?

    The protesters at the capitol are correct that the voters spoke in 2008 to allow the use of Medicinal Marijuana.  The legislature clearly has had a hard time defining in a way that protects legitimate users, and provides a uniform framework that is acceptable to local communities.  Those who marched in Lansing might well have points good and bad, but the way in which they carry the issue has given pause to those considering it from a legal language establishment angle.

    NPV Trolling in Lansing - Heads Up

    Tags: National Popular Vote, Matt Lori, Michigan, Lansing (all tags)

    From KRH comment:

    The legislature is back in session, Matt Lori (R-Constantine) is planning on introducing the NPVIC bill, and I'm told that the NPV supporters are trolling the halls of the state capitol, looking for supporters.

    I have already spoken with the offices of:

    Representatives:

    • Bolger
    • Yonker
    • MacGregor
    • Agema
    • Hooker
    • Lyons
    • Rendon
        and two Democrats who owe me a favor

    Senators:

    • Booher
    • Emmons
    • Hildenbrand
    • Jansen
    • Meekhof
    • Moolenaar
    • Richardville
    • Schuitmaker

    The only response that I have so far is from Dave Agema's office . . . he will be voting "no" on this.  I'm still waiting to hear from the rest.
