  • 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.

    What the heck is going on?

    Bolger says its passed, Republicans McMillin and McBroom, and Democrat Abed say 'not so fast':

    "Rep. Tom McMillin (R-Rochester Hills), a frequent critic of Common Core, questioned after the session whether or not the body had officially adopted the resolution.

    "I'm not sure it did, there was not a vote," McMillin said. "I was there trying to get recognized and wasn't. As I heard it, they adopted the substitute from the Senate, they didn't say, 'all in favor, say aye,' because I was listening for that."

    McMillin and Rep. Ed McBroom (R-Vulcan) both approached the House clerk after the session to discuss the vote, with McBroom saying audibly he intended to vote no on the resolution had a vote been taken.

    Rep. Theresa Abed (D-Grand Ledge) posted on her official Facebook page after the session saying she had also intended to object to the resolution."

    If this is how Jase Bolger is playing this game, we can lump him in with the nerd as one who needs a shoe print black mark on his derrier political career.

    Common core, by the way is another way to guarantee the production of the worlds most impressive dullards by tying the hands of educators to a low-bar 'common' approach to education.

    Break out the kazoos and stay tuned.
