  • 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

    A lot of folks would prefer we spend our time hitting the Democrats for their foibles, wrongness, and socially retarded ideals.

    We do.  We really do.

    Can we help that they spend so much time pretending to be Republicans?

    Randy Richardville is the perfect example.  He is such a lousy Republican leader, the senate had to override him to make SB1018 a reality last week.  He refuses to get on board with the best legislation the Republicans can get behind: RTW.  And his push for that very strange DRIC/NICT project would make governor Granholm proud.

    IF she was still here.

    And whether you like the tactics involved with some who have pushed for stronger conservatism in the party or not, you must see the alliances and support system he has, as questionable.

    The Michigan Senate has an issue.

    Perhaps a temper tantrum throwing majority leader issue.

    As you all know, I support Right-To-Work.  I not only support it, but have done what is in my power to advance it, guide it, and bring a level of freedom of association, liberty etc., back to the workplace in Michigan.  Forced unionism has no place in a free land. it is antithetical to a country based on free will, a belief in the individual and responsibility.

    Yet here we are having to perpetually remind our leadership that it is time to do a little soul searching with regard to labor relations. With contracts between free men, and agreeable partners. In fact I have opined/questioned in an email conversation recently:

    "Under what obscene circumstances should I abrogate my liberty, my freedom of association, and pay a ransom for the privilege of applying my craft, or negotiating a trade arrangement with an agreeable employer?"
    For government to set the terms of my employment contract with another, it requires capitulation to an oppressive NLRB rule, one that somehow has made it through far too many seasons already.  

    It is wrong. It is immoral. It requires a "slave's mindset." And I will see it ended before I am through fighting it.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Sometimes it is real easy to look at the top dog, and think there it is.  The Governor is the one who will affect what is happening in this state the most.  Often we forget the path of least resistance might not serve us so well, if that which travels the path to the pen is unencumbered by reason or moral certitude.

    Just don't forget we have gatekeepers.

    Jack Hoogendyk offers his valuable  experience as a lesson in politics. Pay CLOSE ATTENTION.  A little Skinny on this at the end..

    Below the fold we go..
