  • 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.

    For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

    ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

    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.

    Maybe I should have done more?

    Originally posted at RRFAAE - Yes, it's back!

    One of the things I just love is when some clown on a conservative site starts shooting off his mouth (well, his fingers I guess) at someone who says they are going to vote, or voted for a Libertarian candidate. They usually say one of two things: That they are wasting their vote, or that they're helping the Dem candidate.

    During the course of the Gubernatorial race, I, as well as a few others, essentially said "Why vote for Democrat-lite when you can vote for the real thing?". I subsequently voted for Ken Proctor, the LP candidate. It was a combination of "I'm pretty sure Snyder is going to win" and "Even if he doesn't, it probably wasn't going to be much worse".

    After the State of the State address, it seems that not only was I right, but that I should have done more. I had the opportunity to do an interview with Ken, but didn't get around to doing it (I was living in Mt. Pleasant at the time). Right Michigan may not be the be-all and end-all of Michigan conservative politics, but I'm sitting here, wondering if putting an interview transcription might have made some kind of a difference.

    Indeed, there are some concerns that even I have in regards to how the Libertarians want to handle the issues of defense and immigration, but I think that will be easier than having RINOs and Dem's getting their crap together.

    The following is actually a piece I wrote the other day as a writing sample. I'm attempting to get a gig writing a column for the school rag, and It's been a while since I wrote anything of size, so I figure I'd produce something like this. Enjoy.
