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.

They're Back.

The Fake Tea creation of the Michigan Democrats are hoping to take advantage of retired justice Weaver's slight to the Republicans, and perhaps citizens of Michigan. The lawyer for "The Tea Party" Michael Hodge, has filed to the Michigan supreme Court, requesting it reviews the Appeals court decision.

There is now a 4-3 construction of the Michigan Supreme court that favors Democrat "interpretation activism" versus the 3-1-3 balance between Proper refereeing-"Who Knows anymore"-Interpretation activism. MLive reports:

"The Tea Party" filed an emergency appeal Tuesday, according to a Supreme Court spokeswoman. Attorney John Pirich, who represents the GOP and tea partiers, said he'll decide what steps to take once he reviews the appeal.
A lawyer for "The Tea Party," Michael Hodge, has argued that the size of the type face isn't reason enough to keep "The Tea Party" off the ballot since the group's petitions substantially meet state requirements. State election officials estimate the party submitted about 45,000 valid voter signatures, far more than required by state law.

Heck.. I guess it doesn't matter that there were candidates who were not eligible, filed improperly, didn't know they were running, etc..

We'll see if the Supreme court has been seriously compromised by this change. We'll see if the 4 Justice majority of activists serve their masters well. And we will see how hard we will have to work to defeat the newly designated incumbent leftist justice Alton Davis, come November.
